Oliver is Four

I thought I had a deal going on with Oliver - that he would stay three years old forever! It didn't work out though, because he happily turned four years old the other week.

Jordan was going to be out of town on Oliver's actual birthday, so we celebrated a few days early. We asked Oliver what he wanted to do and he said slip 'n' slide. Easy enough! It actually wasn't a very good slip 'n' slide day - it was windy and overcast. But, Oliver still had a great time. 

On his actual birthday, he and I went to help out in Jonah's classroom like we always do on Mondays. We took dum dums to the class and they were all so excited and Oliver thought it was fun to pass them out. We also got some playground time in with both Skyler and Jonah before heading home. I took Oliver to Bahama Buck's after lunch for a treat to round out the birthday festivities. I also made the strawberry cake that he requested and he and Jonah both devoured it! Never before have I made Oliver a cake that he enjoyed so much, I was so happy!

When Oliver was the spotlight kid in primary (at church) a few months back, he said that his favorite thing about our family is Jonah. He and Jonah have definitely become best buddies over the past six months. Oliver is very much a homebody (mostly because going places involves getting dressed) and prefers to play with others (mainly his brothers) rather than be by himself.
