The four year old


I'm a little bit in denial that Hayden turned four today. He is just about the sweetest thing in my life (besides cakes), and it makes me sad that the years are passing so quickly. When we found out we were having a boy when I was pregnant with him, we were a little scared. After two girls, and not so good experiences with little boys we had been around, we didn't know what to expect. Boy, (pardon the pun) did he prove us wrong! Hayden is a gentleman in every sense of the word. A natural gentleman. He says please and thank you without prompting. He takes care of his sisters when they are sick by rubbing their backs, and bringing them blankets. He tucks his stuffed animals in at night. He hugs my leg and tells me I am the best mom ever. He is witty, clever, and charming, and so handsome. I guess I have a little bit of a crush on him, but so do most of my friends ;) I have to say his dad has probably rubbed off on him, because Tom is quite the catch himself, but I am so proud to be Hayden's momma. I can't wait to see the kind of man he turns out to be. Happy Birthday Hayden, and thank you for coming to our family! We are SO BLESSED!

Hayden is adorable.

I'm so glad you commented on my blog since it linked me to yours. I appreciated reading all your thoughts on losing your baby. His due date is coming up, isn't it? It's sad you didn't get to see him, but what a special experience to feel him move. That's one of my favorite parts about being pregnant & I haven't felt the last 2- even though they were late losses so theoretically far enough along.

I'm sure you're busy with your new business, but if you get a chance to come by, we can cry together for our babies.
