We had his birthday a couple weeks early so Mike could be there. He chose Jump N' Bounce for his party, and the kids had a blast bouncing off the walls. (literally) We played first, to work up their appetites. There were too many kids for me to watch as they ran in all directions, so I gave them "buddies" and they went crazy.
Next we opened presents. I'm glad we bounced first, because Steven wanted to leave and play with his toys as soon as he started opening them.
We weren't able to light candles while we sang, "Happy Birthday," but we had something even better...a disco ball and laser lights. :) (this is the kind of look I get when I say, "Smile!" If I say "Don't smile!" I get the best smile ever. I was not on my game apparently)
We love our little Dude so much! Just thinking about him makes me smile. Steven is a big ladies man. He has a number of girlfriends, although they change frequently. The girl sitting next to him in front of his b-day cake is Haley. She is in his preschool class and when he told me she was naughty and got in trouble a lot I told him he should be extra nice to her a be a good example. He decided to hug her and be her friend. She decided she was going to marry him. When her family passes a temple she points to where she's going to marry Steven, and on Christmas day, when her family was talking about what their grateful for, she said Steven. Last week he proposed to Sarah's bff Lillian and she accepted. Sarah told him that men used to have more than one wife, so he proposed to her as well. He loves it when I talk like Tiana from "The Princess and the Frog" and gets a silly grin on his face as he asks "her" questions. (princesses never get upset at little boys and only use sweet voices at all times)
He is a super tough little guy. He is always jumping off of things, throwing things and wrestling, but he rarely cries when hurt. He loves all things boy and was excited to find out that secret agents and ninjas really exist.
He is also really sensitive. My sweet little Steven might be a toughie when it comes to getting hurt, but he has really sensitive feelings. He loves his siblings and is always giving them hugs and kisses. When he's tired I get some great mommy snuggles as well.
He has the cutest voice! Steven has two volume levels, loud and extra loud. :) When I ask him to lower his voice he "whispers," which amounts to a whisper sound at regular level.
I am so grateful for our sweet little Dude and for all the joy and energy he brings into our home. We love you Steven!
