Gordon’s 4th Birthday

This year Gordon’s birthday was on a Wednesday and we had planned on having a small party with some friends on Saturday, which worked out perfectly because the boys and Kyle all had strep throat, so it was definitely good that we waited until Saturday to give them all time to recover.

Gordon asked for a Captain America cake. Some day I’m going to learn how to decorate cakes and make them look great, but for now, I just make due with what I have and know. I made a Captain America Shield cake because I figured I could do that with little problem. Gordon loved it and was so happy it was Captain America that he didn’t care what the cake looked like!

 

He just had his four year old check up on Monday. He is doing great. He is in the 47th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height, which means he is right one and doing well. The poor boy had to have three shots in the leg, but he’s all caught up and doesn’t have to have any more immunizations for a long time, so we’re all happy!

I just love my Gordon Boy. He’s a sweet, caring little boy who loves to climb, jump, ride bikes, dance, swim, pretend fight, play with cars and anything else that will keep him active. His favorite things is anything to do with cars, sports, or The Avengers. He can pretend to be Captain America one moment and then take off his shirt to become the Hulk the next. He has found things around the house to help in his transformations such as a hanger turning into a bow for Hawk Eye and a plastic fireman hatchet for Thor’s hammer. He loves when someone reads to him and absolutely ADORES his little brother. He has started Sunbeams this year at church (the class that I teach) and since he is the oldest in the class, he is the only one that really sings or answers questions. He is sure cute in there though and I look forward to teaching him this year.
