My big 4 year old

Rex is 4 years old today. He is getting so big. Today in the car on the way to Preschool, he kept saying, "Michelle". I ignored him, as I do when he says my name because I only answer to Mommy with my kids. So finally he says, "Mom, I am all grown up now, so I can call you Michelle". I had to lovingly explain that ABSOLUTELY NOT, he will never be too old to call me mom. Rex is such a fun boy and makes me laugh. His imagination is hilarious and he is so smart. He is really into letters and wants to read so bad. His teacher told me the other day one of the kids made a mess and Rex goes, "Mess, M-E-S, MESS!" I have no idea how he figured that out, because I have never taught him that. He asks for a dog every day and loves playing with friends. He always wants to be where I am and although some days it drives me crazy, I love that he likes to be near me.
Happy Birthday Buddy! I LOVE YOU!

I like how he is smiling in the background of this one!
