Mason turns 4

We just finished celebrating Mason's 4th birthday. We celebrated it John Deere Tractor style due to his facination with tractors. Mason's big present was a swing set. Neil was planning on building it on his birthday, but it rained and now it is still a work in progress.

We finally decided it was time to cut off Mason's long hair for his birthday and have a normal little boy cut. Neil took him to the local barber shop and they really did a number on his poor head. I cried several times that day just from looking at him. I'm not sure if it was the bad hair cut, or saying good bye to his innocent little boy look.

At age 4 Mason finally sleeps in his own room, in his new twin size bed!! This really is a big accomplishment. Since we moved it kind of messed up everyones sleeping habits, and now everyone in our home sleeps in their own beds. Mason loves riding bikes outside. He is terrified of all dogs, cats, bugs, etc. including big and little ones. He doesn't last outside by himself for too long. I'm looking for some kind of "Cowboy Up" club to make him into a man, but having a hard time finding one. Once in awhile we have an imaginary pet or friend join our family for a day or two. We have lots of fun listening to him play by himself and with his imagination!
