Brent had a birthday, Shout Horray!

Brent turned 4 on December 1st. I can't believe my little boy is four. He new thing is to talk about when he gets bigger. He tells Eric "when I turn sixteen, I'm going to be bigger than you." It's so funny... and he's probably right on that prediction. He told Taylor the other day, "Taylor when I turn 100, I'm going to be older than you." I think he wants to boss her around one day. Brent started preschool on the 30th of November and for his birthday he got to take cupcakes to his new preschool. Which was his very first day of preschool. It was a great way to make friends right off the bat.
On Tuesday morning he woke up to presents and a NEW BIKE! He has been riding Taylor's hand me down big wheel and he gets really sad when we go on bike rides, because no matter how fast he peddles, he can't keep up with Taylor. So now that he has he own two-wheeler (with training wheels for now) he can try to keep up with his big sister. We had a little family party... a transformers party. (I'm not sure why he loves transformers... he's never seen the movie.... but it's amazing what they pick up on... he loves them and now he has a bunch of them that I'm constantly changing from a car/ truck/ SWAT Car back to a transformer. My little brother had tons of these when they were the thing in the late 80's... Mom, you should have held onto them. :)
Happy Birthday Brent, WE LOVE YOU! You are such a joy in our family. Brent is really a special spirit. He is a tender heart and is so sweet to me and his sisters. Brent has such a confidence about him. He knows he's the man, it cracks me up. What is it about guys, or maybe my guys, that just are born with this innate confidence that they are the 'stuff.' It makes me laugh. Brent's favorite game right now is Bowser. Eric and the kids made it up; .... Bowser is the villain in the Super Mario games, and Eric is always Bowser and Brent is Mario and Taylor is usually Princess Peach. Eric had this deep raspy, Bowser voice and he kidnaps princess peach, Mario then goes to rescue princess Peach and it's a big wrestle mania in the house. The kids beg to play it the moment Eric walks into the door... it's pretty cute.
