4 years old!

My sweet Cason is 4 years old today... I know it sounds so cliche to say, but man, time flies! It really doesnot seem like 4 years have past since we held him in our arms for the first time. Here are just 4 of the many special things about Cason...

1. He is so compassionate... he is always concerned for other people who might be sick or hurt. He is always asking me, "how do you feel, mom?" He also is so drawn to animals. He even loves bugs, snakes, and critters that make his 2 big brothers squeal! :o)

2. He is so soft-spoken. He doesnt say much until he gets to know you pretty well, and he rarely raises his voice. I always have to turn the radio down in the car to hear him ask me a question or tell me a story. (he is usually asking me "why...." or "how come..."I love listening to his sweet little voice when he says his prayers. He lists everything he played with or anyone he saw that day.

3. He loves his baby brother! And his big brothers, too. He is so proud to be the "baby helper" in the car... and he loves to help Bry with anything. He uses this high-pitched voice when he talks to him, and he always cheers him on with a "good job, lil' bry!" He loves to play all sorts of stuff, but he doesnt want to do anything by himslef. He likes to have one of his "buddies" with him.

4. He has the sweetest smile and the best giggle. You just cant help but smile or giggle right back at him. He is generally a pretty happy kid, and he is lots of fun for our family.

We love you, Cason!! Happy brithday, sweet boy!!
