Happy 4th Birthday Darren!!

Darren turned 4 years old yesterday 8/28. He has matured a lot, using a lot difficult words and always asking "why?" Of course, Darren still has his moments of frustration but reasoning with a 4 yr old is not easy. Darren will be moving into Pre-K next week so he will be officially a "big boy".
We have mini celebrations throughout this week. 8/27 We went to Chuck E Cheese's for some pizza and some video arcade. Darren loves to drive cars or jet skis. Some of our friends joined in "Where a kid can be a kid".




On his birthday 8/28, we brought cake to school so his classmates can celebrate with him. He was crowned King of day and he really had fun. Just to let you know, you have to prepare birthday favors and it could be a hit to the wallet. I had been shopping for months for Spiderman related stuff like nylon bags, tattoos, puzzles. Then 2 weeks before his birthday, he says he doesn't like Spiderman...he wants Thomas the Train. At least his cake was Thomas the Train, everything else was a mix of Disney and Nick Jr. stuff. Why do we as parents have to prepare party favors for classmates? It's because of self fulfillment to be a "cool" parent, you got to go all out. Doug and I couldn't make it to the class celebration because of work. However, we have a mini celebration on Sat for him and his cousin Trevor. Stay tuned for more posting this weekend.
