Cael Turns 4

This was a huge year for Cael. He is constantly telling me that he is 5, and that he CAN do everything the boys are doing. He is old enough to know what is really going on, and how to use it to his advantage... so I thought. When I asked him what he would like for dinner, he tells me Applebees. Funny thing about that? That's CARSONS favorite, his roomie! Carson had been coaching him, and Cael was SET he wanted Applebees. He loves to go Mexican, he calls it chips and salsa. Luckily that day Cars felt like Mexican and coached him into changing it to chips and salsa. He never orders anything, just eats his chips and salsa and drinks his pink pepsi (cherry 7up). The boys were AMAZING at the restaurant. The first REAL success we have had eating out. I was very proud. The youth leaders put on a carnival on his birthday so we told Cael that was his party. He was happy as can be. He wanted to wear his costume all day, therefore his presents were opened in superman! He asked for a bouncy ball (big kick ball kind) and a remote control. So easy, love this kid!!! He wanted a christmas cake (who the heck knows what that is?!?) so I got him a 'Cars' ice cream cake and he was super happy with it! He had swedish pancakes for breakfast, the meal he would have 7 days a week if I'ld cook them. And none else than hot dogs for lunch. It has been 5 days since his birthday, and he has not had one good day. He went from total obeyer and sweetheart to insta brat. So crazy. I hope it's just a stage. Love him to pieces!!! Some facts about him: Favorite color : whatever Cars tells him it is. Neither a mommas boy or dads, he is very affectionate to both of us. Favorite activity: Anything social. He loves to roam the neighborhood and gather his friends to play. He has some of the older kids come ask if he can play. He is up for anything. Amazing brother. He loves "Tobey" crazy. And Colby feels the same back. It's really cute! Favorite Cartoon: Super Why! or Dora. He LOVES movies, and would watch all day if I let him. He loves Rescuers at the moment, and Alladin is close behind. He asked me if we could have a pet mouse like Cinderella because they are "so tute". Um... NO! He started out the year hating Primary, but now he sees the socializing potential, and loves it now. He is a rock star at church. Everyone loves him. He talks like his brothers. Things like this sucks so bad. And, freaking awesome. What the crap! And on and on. It sounds so funny coming from him. Since I put him on MAJOR house arrest (he cannot leave my sight - VERY exhausting) we have not lost him. The last time I lost him was when he hid from me on Columbus Day, so that is a HUGE improvement. Hopefully we're past that stage. He has really gotten into puzzles lately. And is pretty good at them. He is a HUGE joy to have. I love him to infinity and back!!!
