Our baby is four!

Nine days overdue, high blood pressure, been on bed rest for two weeks and finally I am being induced....
Next day he's still in there face up and not coming down so they vacuum him and finally at 2:14pm November 8th, 2003 our little "hoover" was born in Kelowna. Some complications arose and I wasn't able to see him until 7:30 that night. From that moment on he has been in my care. Sure there's been the odd babysitter, "quiet" time for myself, or a marriage retreat for Justin and me. But since his birth, he has been apart of every single one of my days. That's about 1460 days of loving, laughing, teaching, crying, disciplining, YAWNING, praying, wondering, reading, playing, walking, rocking, climbing, SNUGGLING, cleaning, changing, touching, worrying, feeding, imagining, negotiating, listening and rubbing my hands through his beautiful "copper" hair. He has brought so much joy to us. His tenderness and sensitivity warms my heart and reminds me to be more tender and more sensitive. I pray his stubborness and determination will be used for God's glory and the kingdom of Heaven. Though these days it is mostly resulting in time-outs and me sprouting gray hairs. He is very truthful and must know every detail. He is a great helper and loves to get dirty. He LOVES to dance and listen to all kinds of music. He loves splashing in the water and uses lots of caution when trying new things. He has NEVER slept well and rarely goes to bed without a fuss. He prefers to pray at mealtime and bedtime. He is really good with electronics and has his own imac. He plays with his blocks and Hot Wheels every single day. He likes playing pretend with Mattias and dressing up. He loves meeting and greeting new people. He loves story time. He loves his Nanny and Grandma and often asks to pray for them. He can be particular about his fashion, his outfits. He doesn't like cheese but will pretty much eat anything else. He's not much of a breakfast guy but prefers a second helping at dinner. He is quite content to play by himself with one thing for a while. Once he likes something, it lasts. After more then two years, "Thomas" is still a loyal companion. He loves to hold his baby sister and tell his brother Mattias what to do. He likes shopping and going for drives. He does NOT like bugs. He does like animals. He can dress and UNdress himself. He likes watching and reading "Berenstain Bears". He is learning his alphabet and starting to read. He is often interested in the weather and what the forecast is.
