Where did FOUR years GO?!

I seriously can't believe he is four years old. It seems just like yesterday, or at least last year that I was looking like this and heading to the hospital.
Nate and I were talking just the other day how boring life would be without Tydon. We are very blessed to have him in our family.

Here are some fun facts about Ty the Guy at four years old:

*He LOOOOOOVES spiderman. In case you aren't a frequent reader of this blog, he actually believes at times that he is spiderman. Iron man comes in a close second. He has costumes for both superheroes, but has gloves, multiple masks, and boot covers for spiderman. He is a bit of a fanatic!

*He loves pizza and cereal. He would eat cereal for every meal if I would let him.

*He loves to sit really close to the TV with his legs like this. I always have to remind him to scoot back. Not only does he watch TV sitting like this (with the weird leg position), but he sits in general like this.

*He still does not like to get into trouble. I think this is one of the things I love best about him. He has such a tender, sensitive heart. Every time he gets into trouble he thinks that I am yelling at him. I could be whispering, but he still thinks I am yelling. He tries very hard to make good choices. He does not like being in time out. I only have to say once, "Ty go to the bathroom." (that is where our time out is) and he runs there crying. He also doesn't really make the same mistake twice.

* He says very sweet prayers always remembering his mom and dad and his big brother Kace. He says prayers by himself when he loses his toys for help in finding them.

*He loves playing with Kace and tries to copy him. I am so glad Kace is so patient.

* He LOOOOVES to go to Grandpa Andrew's to ride on the tractors with Cort. He doesn't care how cold it is, he wants to go out. He loves loves loves tractors. He also loves playing with cars and race tracks.

You can tell how happy they were to stop so I could take a picture :)

* He loves to play with his friends. He really loves playing with Tanner and Summit and Thomas. He really likes going to Kace's games to play with River (I am glad there is a playmate there or it would get really LOOONG for him!)

*He is a pretty big kid and a pretty rough kid. He thinks he is being soft and tries to be soft, but isn't so much. He gives GREAT hugs!

*He loves to jump and be a daredevil. Like most kids he has no fear. He had his first broken bone this past year.

*He loves all colors and changes his favorite color every time I ask him.

*He loves to go shopping and try on clothes. When I go with him we have to go to the dressing room so he can try it on. He then jumps up and down saying that he loves it. (very different from Kace who could care less and definitely wouldn't waste time trying it on).

*He has a very loud voice. Even when he is trying to be quiet he is not.

*He loves balls of all kind. He can't wait until it is warm so we can go outside to play 'bat and ball'. He loves football and basketball too.

*He has been so much fun this past Christmas and birthday because he gets so excited (understatement) for his presents. He jumps up and down and everything is "just what he wanted". It is so much fun to buy things for. I have to restrain myself.

*His favorite thing for his birthday was his cake. I think he looked at it most of the day. I would come downstairs and just find him staring. He could hardly wait to come home and get his cake. It made it worth it! We also went to Kace's first basketball game (that is a post in and of itself) and then to Chuck E Cheese and THEN (finally) home for his cake and ice cream.

We love our TY!
