We started out Liam's birthday with decorations all over the kitchen. He was SO excited when he woke up. I forgot a pic. He sang happy birthday to himself all day.
For lunch, we went and got pizza at his request "at the place with the cookies."
Katelyn managed to get into the cake before I frosted it. I was able to hide it, but it still looked a little sunken. Liam said sadly, "Katelyn wuined my birtday cake." But he quickly smiled when I started frosting over it. He then cried when I told him we were not eating it till that night. Luckily, Troy was coming home and that worked to distract Liam.
I had been looking online at used tramps for awhile. After talking to a few families that had tramps, it sounded like it would be a really great purchase for our family. I just decided that I really wanted the enclosure and most used tramps didn't have them. So, I would have ended up spending quite a bit anyway to get what I wanted. Ben and I decided to get a new one that isn't the best quality but I think it will work fine for little kids. On Liam's birthday, Ben had to work and then go to young mens, so I decided to take the kids and we would go get it ourselves. They loved helping me.
The box was too heavy for me to take out of the car, so we had to take each piece from the car to the backyard.
We only got the frame done by the time Ben got home and it was dark anyway. Actually, Liam ran into the frame and got a black eye that he still has. Poor guy. It was really funny though... Anyway, we went inside and had the cake! Can't believe Mr. Liam is 4!
The next morning, I finished the tramp part in the freezing cold. Liam didn't mind the cold a bit.
Mr. Liam is keeping us laughing all the time. Last week he told me, "mom, give me nickels." Then he held his hand out in a fist. Haha. I explained to him what knuckles are.
Liam is still pretty active. He throws really hard and loves to play baseball. But he loses most of his balls and bats by either braking them or losing them in the gutter.
Liam is also very quick to pick things up. He has a great memory and absorbs things while he looks like he is not paying attention. He is so busy in primary and I know he is a struggle for his teachers, but he comes home singing the songs pretty well.
He still gives the biggest hugs and screams out of joy when you get home. He randomly says, "Mom, Dad, I love you bery much."
He loves to dress up like Iron Man and Captain America. He misses his playmate when Troy goes to school and wants to go with him. He loves Katelyn and sometimes smothers her.
Liam still loves food and will eat most of what I make. Still very independent, "no, I can do it myself!"
We can't imagine life without our Liam. Happy Birthday 4 year old!
