Carter is 4!

I think part of the fun of birthdays is the anticipation.

And Carter has been greatly anticipating turning 4!

I think the main reason is because now he can chew gum.

We got to bring in donuts for his class to celebrate the day before his birthday. All the kids in his class took turns telling what they loved about Carter. Such a sweet time.

The next day we had a big birthday party, which will be a separate post. And because Carter's favorite thing to eat is quesadillas, we went out to On The Border for a birthday dinner. I would have never guessed this about my son, but he was really excited for the servers to come and sing to him! I would have said he'd be shy about that kind of thing, but he ate it up!

And his birthday sundae, too!

It's so hard to believe my baby boy is 4!? He's getting so grown-up, yet still has plenty of little boy left in him. He truly is such a joy...
