Beau Nicholas

Beau Nicholas turned four years old on June 16th! He was excited to turn four so that he could have gum. We made Louie wait until his fourth birthday to have gum as well.

Beau started his birthday morning off in his heaven. Swinging in a sea of bubbles!

We were dog sitting Bergen and Beau was very close to taking a birthday siesta with him.

Beau got his own computer from Scott, Michelle, Braden, and Katie.

It is the perfect computer for a four year old!

Ever since we went to our local airport on Easter weekend Beau has had it planned to go eat at the airport restaurant for his birthday. We only saw one airplane take off during our meal, but he still loved it because the restaurant it decorated in airplane/helicopters model and pictures. We live about five minutes from the airport and Keith usually takes the boys there once a week or so. Beau always talks about flying in airplanes, helicopters, and recently a hot air balloon.

Beau was given a new helicopter book which he opened and enjoyed listening to as he ate his strawberry ice cream at the airport.

We went to the Freedom Station with the boys for a bit.

They each got to play a few games and climb in the jungle gym.

After Beau made a wish and blew out his candle Louie asked him what he wished for.

He said, "I wished that mom could be with me forever."

The weekend before Beau's birthday my mom had a birthday party for Beau with the cutest monkey cake (as you can see).

For his birthday he wanted a Bumble Bee helmet, Bumble Bee blaster, and an Iron Man Suit.

His favorite gifts seemed to be a Bee Movie Book and Toy Story Soap.

Beau continues to be quite the character. Thinking back to when he turned three I remember that he loved to swing and loved to be naked. This is still the case. The above picture was taken after a struggle with trying to get Beau to trace number. I had to walk away to try to regain some patience and within two minutes Beau had left the table, stripped, and was swinging joyful in the backyard.

Beau loves to give me compliments, thanks me for something I did for him each night, still likes to be at home, wants his family together, is stubborn, thinks he deserve to be the parent, is very excited to be a grown-up so he can be in charge, loves to go in the family spa, loves to cuddle, the only show he ever requests is Dora the Explorer, he has a temper/does not give up (at home, but not out of the house), needs his sleep, plays independently whenever I ask him to clean his playroom, uses his imagination when interacting with his toys, likes to help Keith water plants, and plans to be Iron Man when he grows up.

Beau often goes into hiding when he is upset.

This time he went to pout on our dogs bed and fell asleep.
