Marshall is four years old today and I am left wondering where the time has gone! I sure am grateful for him and I love him to pieces! Yes, its true, he causes me multiple frustrations every day, but he also gives me lots of laughs. We love having him in our family.
Here are some things about Marshall at age four...
*He loves anything that has to do with Transformers or Ghostbusters. He talks about being one of those things for Halloween about ten times a day.
*Yesterday he ran around the living room for one hour pretending he was a Ghostbuster. :)
*He enjoys football, soccer, and running. A couple of weeks ago he insisted on running with me despite my attempts to get him in the stroller. He ran two miles in 28 minutes.
*He is mostly potty-trained. :) He refuses to do #2 in the potty and while he rarely has accidents, really the only time he does #1 is before we are going somewhere, and that still takes some prodding. So on second thought, maybe we have a ways to go yet. :) Just this morning I told him he needed to go potty before went to the park. He did his usual sulking and crying. I reminded him that he is now four and four year olds just use the potty and they don't cry about it. He then informed me that he is an adult and I agreed with him and said that adults don't cry when they have to go potty. I said, "Do you see Daddy cry when he has to go potty?" Marshall's response: "I don't see Daddy cry because he shuts the door."
*His favorite toys are his cars and most recently Legos, which we just got him for his birthday.
*He has become obsessed with the September Friend magazine for some reason.
*He loves to watch bone videos with Richard on the ipad. This is typically his preference before bed; he chooses bone videos over books.
*A couple of weeks ago I asked him to draw a picture for Uncle Kevin who is on his mission. He drew bones including femurs, craniums, and ribs.
We love you Marshall!
And now, because I am slightly sentimental today, a few pictures.
