Yes, my "baby" is four.  It feels like just yesterday, when I held him in my arms for the first time. I so clearly remember holding your little warm, soft foot in my hand as they took our first photo together.  At that moment I thought I would never forget how that little foot felt and four years on I still remember.

I love this little boy with all my heart.  I love how he thinks I'm the most gorgeous mom ever.  That I'm as pretty as a dwarf?  Yes, so he says.  I love that he has such a way with girls.  A charmer most definitely.  I love how strong willed he is.  Okay, not always but I know that this will help him fight his battles as he gets older.  That it will help him not to succumb to peer pressure so easily.  I love his humor.  How he can get me to laugh when I should not.  Happy birthday to my middle son.  The one who binds his older brother to his younger brother.

Little Jay wanted a Cars picnic.  This guy loves a picnic.  So we went to his favourite vacation resort and had a picnic.  My folks and my eldest brother with his family joined us.  Jason was super excited about his cake.  He wanted a Cars cake and couldn't wait to see it.  He loved it.  The kids all had a lovely time, with their picnic under the trees.  I thought it was so sweet that Jason wanted fruit at the picnic too lol  Didn't think he would ask for that!  (it was of course left untouched)

When everyone left on Sunday, he got so upset.  He had thought that everyone would stay there for his birthday.  I felt so sad for him. 

This morning when he woke up, we brought him a cupcake with four candles in (we always do this for the birthday guy).  We opened gifts and went to Wimpy for breakfast.  On the way I picked some white flowers and put them around his plate (continuing my mom's tradition)  After going back and having our last swim, we headed back home.

Happy birthday Jay - you are a baby no more - you are now four.
