Riley is 4!

We celebrated Riley’s fourth birthday March 26! He had a Phineas and Ferb party this year – his favorite cartoon! Hailey Peterson (now at Cups & Cakes in Starkville) made his cake and did a fantastic job!

We had a jumper, cake and ice cream, and more presents than any child could ever play with. All his grands were able to make it, too, so that made the day pretty special.

At 4, Riley is very into his Thomas the Train sets, loves Matchbox cars, and is starting to learn how to put letters together to make words. He loves to use his sidewalk chalk to spell whatever he sees – tree, grass, house, flowers, bicycle, etc… He is still very much an outside boy and would rather be playing in the yard, swinging on his swing, or riding his bike than anywhere else. He loves to sing and has recently become quite a dance - hindered only by the fact that he got his mama’s rhythm (or lack thereof!) but does not lack enthusiasm. We registered him last week for K4 at our church for the fall so he’ll go half a day there and the other half at the daycare where he is now. His class seems to be split between FUMC K4 and Winston Academy’s K4, so he’ll get to make some new friends next year.

Enjoy the pictures from the party!!
