Ok I'm a silly Grandma. I didn't know if you pushed return after the title that it would publish your post. Now I need to write it again to explain. Yesterday was our second grandson's fourth birthday. He is a very special little boy. He began his earth life as a very small baby weighing in at only 3 lbs. His first year he struggled because he couldn't keep much down. He is only now able to drink milk and not have problems. He is a fighter and because of his determination he is still with us today. This little boy has a very special mission to complete here upon this earth. He loves us almost as much as we love him. When he calls and asks for us to come to his house there isn't much for us to do but to give in. When he clings to me so tight because he doesn't want to go home I have to promise him that we will see him again in a couple of weeks. He has come so far and we are so happy that he is in our family. 

The first picture is of his birthday present, a big boy bed. He has been asking for one for a long time. He has been sleeping in a small Lighting McQueen bed for a couple of years. He loves climbing up and now that he is four, he can touch the ceiling. He had his first night sleeping in his bed last night and had all of us worried because he wanted to sleep in the very bottom of the bed.

Of course Grandma made his birthday cake and even though I had problems with it yesterday morning, it turned out tasty and Josh loved helping me finish it. He loves airplanes and helicopters because his Dad is crazy for them also and he wants to be just like his Dad. So we bought him a Batman helicopter to put on top. The MM's are because if you want to get Josh to do anything, just offer him MM's. We put Oreo cookies around the bottom because that is his favorite cookie because of Grandma Pratt. He blew out his candles before we even had a chance to sing Happy Birthday to him. We had to light them again. I guess the first time was just for practice.

Again Josh Happy Birthday and we love you!
