What's It Like to Turn 4?

Elijah turned four on April 11th. Dear boy. Full of smiles. Full of vibrancy. Tender in his owies. So willing and wanting to join in all the fun.

On the 10th I prepared a room full of balloons and called it the birthday room. It was a surprise. When he entered the room he stood in awe, as simply said, "wow!"

We played a bunch that night and for at least and hour the next day. Easy to create many games with balloons, a four year old, and a dad.

Here are a couple of short videos:
