Almost Four

My baby turns four this Saturday. He'll be a full-time preschooler the week after his birthday. I like to think I'm handling this pretty well, but I'm not. It's hard to watch your youngest grow up. Seems as if they grow up so much faster than your oldest. Unfortunately, I'm not as good as I used to be about documenting milestones and random moments. (Oh how I miss scrapbooking!) However, I can assure you that I'll always remember Rocket at almost four insisting that his new nickname is Rocketship. That he only wants his preschool director to call him by his real name, Carson. That trains are still the love of his life. That while he was in the middle of going potty the other night, he fell hands first into the the toilet bowl. That his best pal is Papa (my dad). That he lives on a very limited diet of mac & cheese, raisins, bananas, Stripples, and ketchup rice and somehow manages to weigh more than his big brother. That every night he tells me that he loves me so much and that he loves me so big. I hope he always knows I love him even bigger.
