Hayden turned 4 on Monday, December 15th. Rebecca's birthday was last month and he knew it was after Rebecca's so he's been expecting it "any day now" for the last month. He got to play Lego Star Wars without any time restrictions on his birthday - that was a big deal for him. We also had a little birthday party that night with Jerry's family. If you can't tell he is in a MAJOR Star Wars phase right now. This phase might last years though with the way we feed it. I tried my best at making a Clone Trooper Helmet Cake. He wanted the one with red, and he was excited, so even though it is amateur it's good enough for a 4 year old. I think it turned out pretty good, except I ran out of frosting, but not a huge deal. After the party Grandpa Ewell brought over the big bus and we went on a ride around the temple to look at Christmas lights. Hayden loves going on Grandpa's bus and every time he see's a city bus he asks when we're going to go on Grandpa's bus again, so this meant a lot to Hayden. We had fun driving around and listening to Rebecca yell, "temp0" every time she caught a glimpse of the temple. He is a special boy and we are so happy that he had a good birthday. But he did inform me today after looking at the calendar and counting that it will be his birthday again in "7 weeks." Hmm, we'll see about that one.
Some things about Hayden at four: He is a sweet little boy. He's very loving and usually obedient. Lately he has prided himself on being "a teaser boy" when he gets caught doing anything he shouldn't. He thinks if he's teasing it's ok. He's also obsessed with the ornaments from the Star Wars tree. He can't keep his hands off them. Even a letter from Santa reminding him not to touch hasn't helped a whole lot. But he is such a sweet boy it's hard to get too upset with him. Yes, his obsession is Star Wars. He loves to play Lego Star Wars, and with all his action figures he has. He knows all the character names and the color light saber they use. He is also very into Thomas the Train, puzzles, Curious George, books, and learning. He asks a lot of questions about everything and I love it. Lately he wants to know what is in everything. "What's in my clone trooper?" "What's in Mac 'n Cheese?" "What's in the car?" "Does a plant have bones?" and his latest odd infatuation is earlobes. I'm sure he'll be embarrassed as he gets older and reads this, but he LOVES earlobes for some odd reason. I'm wondering if it has to do with thinking about how bones are in everyone's body, but there are no bones in the earlobes? I don't know, all I can say is watch out. If you bend over in front of him and he sees an earlobe he can't resist reaching out and rubbing that earlobe. Odd? Yes. Funny? Yes. Concerning? Not quite at this point, but we'll see if it continues through adolesence - then Yes. He also loves babies. He can't keep away from babies. He is so excited for his little sister to come and he talks to her all the time. He is a sweetheart and we are so lucky to have him!
