Is that not the never-ending, most frustrating question EVER? It is amazing how fast time goes. So, Gunnar turns 4 tomorrow! So, here's all my random thoughts about my baby!!He is so sweet - well when he wants to be. He is very helpful with his brother. He is smart. He loves to watch Scooby Doo and knows what monster it is from the opening 3 seconds of the show! He loves "churkey swamiches" - although today on the way home he asked if we had any "roast beast", he then decided that he wanted peanut butter & jelly. He fell asleep on the way home and didn't wake up, so I am sure he'll ask for some sort of swamich for breakfast. He LOVES mud. He likes to pour mud on his brother's head (Paden doesn't seem to mind). He doesn't like toothpaste. Well, he liked the Shrek Green Apple Swamp kind, which we no longer have because someone put it in the toilet one day. Can you find that kind of toothpaste in the store anymore? Of course not! We took him for his check-up last week. He weighs almost 44 pounds and I can't remember how tall exactly he is. He is in the 90th percentile for his weight and 75th for his height. He doesn't like wearing shorts - can't work in short pants! He will NOT wear sandles - fast runner tennis shoes only. He got new shoes and he actually loves them and was so excellent at the store when we were getting them. He wants a superman bike with the superman "x" (I think he means "S") for his birthday. He still loves Rescue Heros. He loves tractors. He loves working with his Grandpa Livingston. He worked the loader bucket on the tractor all by himself, while Grandpa was on the ground putting the chains around the trees. He says that "cheat grass is enough to drive ya nuts!" He likes being "mama's sweet baby". He gets cranky when he's tired. He still needs a nap, we think, but that is not possible for him - he'll miss too much. He knows when he is tired though and will eventually just turn off. He loves fruit - strawberries and watermelon are "his best". He doesn't like Paden's "slime" on his cup or drink bottle, so sometimes he won't share. He often uses the excuse he's too tired when it comes time to clean up his toys - but he certainly wasn't too tired the second before when he was playing with them. He's really a dumper-outer - everything gets dumped out everywhere - which then gets stepped on & broken. He likes dollar store toys, but they only last about 2 seconds! He likes He-Man and can recite the whole "by the power of gray skull" monologue. He likes to play pretty rough and wrestle. His best move is the "big elmo" (elbow). He loves water - swimming, bath, hose - all methods of getting wet are good for him, except rain - he must get that from me! He loves his Grandma Pam with the puppies! He knows he's got lots of grandmas & grandpas, but I am not sure he understand how lucky he is for having them. He loves to sing and he really does well at following the tune. He breaks out in song quite often. He's a pretty amazing little boy. He's wild, silly, crazy, fun, loveable and he will always be my sweet baby!

I can't believe he is 4 years old already! I remember first meeting you when you were pregnant with him. Time does fly by so fast - crazy!
