(Catching Up) Hello, Mr. 4 year old

Yup, Noah is 4.  Do most kids have birthdays that seem to go on forever?  The party, the "actual" birthday day, the school birthday -- the Noah festivities went on for at least a week.  Noah asked that the theme of his party be John Deere - so John Deere it was.  

Wasn't I just hauling around that little boy in a baby Bjorn?  How can it be that he is washing his own hair and going to PreSchool?
Check out the cake.  Yes, that IS a John Deere tractor that Lisa constructed from ice cream and chocolate.  And under the tractor is a "banana split" ice cream cake: peanuts/graham cracker bottom, fudge, choc ice cream, bananas, banana ice cream, cherries, vanilla.  OH MY Gosh was that good.
And the birthday boy performs!  Shall I send a quick email to American Idol?
Noah unwraps his new combine tractor.  He uses it for his harvesting, of course.

At SMS (Stillwater Montessori School) Miss Joanne helped Noah celebrate with his friends and family.  In a Montessori classroom the birthday child holds the earth or a globe and walks around  the sun or a candle. The walk represents the earth revolving around the sun. The child walks around as many years old he or she is and stops on the month and date he or she was born.
