Micah Turns 4

I'm a little behind in posting about it, but Micah had a fantastic time turning 4.  I think this is the first birthday that he really understands that we're celebrating him and that he gets gifts and he gets cake.  At least, that's what it seemed like.  He had very specific requests this year.

He wanted a clock, and he's learning how to tell time.  (Thanks, Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop!)

Here he is, the morning of his birthday, eagerly waiting on the couch with his eyes closed to see what one of his presents would be.

Liam also sat down to wait.  I think he was hoping there was something in it for him too.

A new scooter!  It was actually found abandoned at my work, but it was in good shape - other than being pink.  Micah asked for a blue scooter with Toy Story on it. How do you think we did?  With a little spray paint, a Toy Story gift bag, and clear contact paper, dreams can come true!!

He took it for a spin down through the dining room...

...and got the hang of it very quickly.

His birthday was also the first day of school (more pictures from that later).  But he did oblige Tim and hold up four fingers as he was all dressed and ready to go with his Mater backpack.

When we asked him a few days before his birthday what it was that he wanted to do on the actual day, he said, "Go to Mickey's house and eat at McDonald's."  So that's what we did.  We left right after I finished work at four and headed over, grabbing McDonald's on the way.  He loves to wear his hat, and he was excited that we had to park far enough away from the transportation and ticket center that we got to ride the tram.  Normally we use our special pass and park really close, so this was a fun treat.

Outside of "It's a Small World", one of his favorite rides.  How cute is this four-year-old???

And he has the button to prove it's his birthday.

Next posts include more about Micah's first day of school, Liam's first day of school (can't believe he's starting preschool too!), and all the things you need to know about a four-year-old Micah.  Stay tuned!
