For Weston's 4th birthday party, we just invited boys.  We made Indian feathered hats and painted warpaint on their faces.  We made the teepees out of bamboo sticks, a bungee cord, and sheets.  The party was just as I pictured it--little boys running around our backyard like wild Indians.  It was so fun, and the birthday boy had a blast.  They colored pictures of a teepee before having cake & ice cream.  Weston got lots of fun presents.  Mimi dropped off a package to him in a small rectangular box.  I asked Weston what he thought it might be, and he said, "Hmm, let's see...it must be a baby sister."  Who knew that was even on his wish list?! One thing I have noticed since his turning four is that he can color much better than he used to.  He actually sits down long enough to color a whole picture.  The other night he must have sat for an hour and a half while he colored several different pictures.  Maybe he will have a good attention span for learning in school!!  He has been so cute and sweet lately.  He tells me I am "bitiful" almost every day.  Here are just a few things he has said this week:
1.  "Am I still four? (when he wakes up each morning)
2. "Look how tall I am." (standing up several times during a meal to show us)
3. "Look how big my shadow is." (every time he gets out of the car)
4. "Mommy, you look so bitiful."  (I love how he says beautiful. My little guy is such a charmer!)
5. "Next week, when I'm a grown-up..." (we had to set him straight on this one)
