Ode to Odie

Today is my little man's 4th birthday. My heart literally aches at my baby boy growing up so fast. We did not do a party today and he is such a sweet and simple boy all he had asked for was a cake and a batman lego and was so thrilled with those that we didn't even open his gifts from the gmas yet. (Extend the celebration tomorrow!)
Still remember the first time I laid eyes on you with that white down hair and glowing (vampire) skin. My tender hearted little angel boy. You make me so proud when you fearlessly learn to skate, ski, ride a bike and yet this tough guy stuff is all an act as tears are instantly streaming down your face the instant I am out of your sight in the basement or getting something out of the car. And really kisses are the only medicine that can fix your constant stream of owies. I am grateful you still need my snuggles and comfort so much, I do too. You melt me with how kind and adoring you are with your sisters. There is not a more patient brother (not saying Vera is bossy or Wilma is fussy...)We love you Odie.
Well here is a long photo/video dump to summarize our years together.
