Happy 4th Birthday!

My baby boy is four!!!

I try not to think about it too much because it makes me want to cry a little! He's so big and I have no idea where all of the time has gone!

Tatem is getting better and better at talking, in fact, he pretty much says anything he wants to but has poor pronunciation so that's the next battle. He starts preschool at Stansbury High school next month, they offer a hands on learning program for the high school students and as a result, the preschoolers get one on one attention. He doesn't start kindergarten until 2016 so we're hopeful that two years of preschool will give him the social and academic skills he'll need to be successful in a mainstream kindergarten class. It's amazing to see him make such huge strides! There was a time, not long ago that I often felt heartbroken for him and wondered if he'd ever get to live a normal happy life. Things are now looking so hopeful and I truly enjoy every moment of being his mom! He's a very special part of our family... plus he's super handsome if I do say so myself!

He's also smart. . . A week or so ago I told him his birthday was coming up and asked him what he wanted. He said "rollers". A couple hours later, he asked to watch a movie on my phone so I put the lock code in and let him. A little later I got an email from Amazon "thank you for your order". And what was my order? Angry Bird roller skates. My little stinker had found them online and ordered them all by himself! Everyday after that he'd check out the window waiting for them to get here! I didn't cancel the order because I figured it's what he wants and it was only $14 (I don't know what makes me more proud, he's ability to order on his own or his bargain shopping!)

He's a sweet heart through and through and I feel so blessed to be his mom. I'm so grateful that four years ago Heavenly Father saw it fit to trust me with such a sweet, tender spirit. I'm thankful for everyday with him!

P.S. we have HUGE/tiny news, check back within the week so to find out what it is!
