Haydn's 4th Birthday

Haydn turned 4 years old on Feb 11th. I know I've been bad at blogging but I just have to get his special day on here. He wanted a "How To Train Your Dragon" party. I had plans of doing something really cool with his chosen theme but it got put on a back burner because I was out of town and everyone was sick the week before. Anyways, we still made his day special. We started out with going to choose donuts, this is kind of a tradition now. We sang to him and he got to open his presents in the morning.




One of his presents was a dragon egg that he got to hatch by putting it in a volcano! It was pretty fun to watch it fizzle and then he got to put the dragon together.


He got a helmet, shield and ax like every good viking should have.

We spent our morning building a viking ship.

When I asked him what vikings eat for lunch he said "oatmeal" so that was what he ate. Then he watched "How To Train Your Dragon" while playing with all his viking gear and accessories.


In the evening he got to open one more present from Grandma Beckie- roller blades! He loves them and has been wearing them non-stop since.


Then I made a chocolate cake, per his request and celebrated one more time. We decided we had so much fun having a family birthday that we didn't need to do a big party this year. I think maybe we'll do an every other year big party. It's nice to just celebrate low-key and enjoy our boy growing up!

By the way, at his 4 year old WCC Haydn's stats were:
37 lbs (60%) and 42 1/4 in (90%)
He DID NOT like his shots this year. He ripped one of them out of his arm! It was so sad!

I can not say enough good about this boy. He is definitely an outgoing, friendly, funny, smart, sneaky, sweet, happy, and independent little man. I'm so glad he's OURS!!! I love you Haydn!
