Bryce's Valentine Party at WCA...

Bryce and Carter both had Valentine parties on Thursday before Valentine's Day. Carter's class asked the parents not to come to this party because it gets the kids very emotional when the parents leave. They had Valentine cookies at lunch and exchanged Valentine's Day cards.
Bryce's class, however, had a fun party and Shawn and I both went. The kids had Chick-fil-a for lunch. Then they decorated heart-shaped sugar cookies. We then played a game counting candy hearts. At the end of the party, the kids exchanged Valentine's. The kids at this age are so cute and I love being able to go to Bryce's parties.

Bryce and his teacher, Mrs. Jennifer. He gave his teachers a big filled with Hershey's hugs and kisses.

His class makes a hat to wear for every holiday. This was his Valentine's hat.

Decorating his sugar cookie. He put so much icing and sprinkles on it that even he didn't want to eat it when he was finished.

Valentine's Day 2009...

This year for Valentine's Day, the boys had a couple of parties to go to. On Thursday, Bryce and Carter had a party with their class at WCA. Then on Friday, the boys went to Lisa's (our other babysitter) and had a party with the kids that she keeps.

Sweet Carter, AKA Heartbreaker, ready to go to school. In case your wondering, he has a current obsession with toothbrushes. He gathers them up and carries them around all day. Shawn and I have to hide our toothbrushes or he would get them too.
Bryce had to decorate a Valentine box for his class. I gathered some of my scrapbooking supplies and this is what we came up with. He was so excited about his box.

Little Forever.....

(Bryce came downstairs with this get up on)
I am happy to say that I am so excited about Bryce being 4 years old. His birthday was just in December, but it seems as though he is getting a little more mature and creative. I love to have conversations with him to see where his thinking is going to lead us. I also love his innocence and imagination.
The other day, I was just looking at Bryce and Carter and I was so sad because my little babies are growing up so fast. Bryce is still a Mommy's boy and still likes for me to hold and carry him. He was sitting in my lap and I gave him a hug and kiss. I asked him "Will you please stay little forever and never get big". To which he replied "yes".
Later in the day, the boys were wrestling around on my bed (a favorite thing to do) and Bryce just kicked back in the middle of the bed. I looked at him and asked, "Do you love Mommy and Daddy's bed?". He shook his head yes. (keep in mind that he sleeps with us every night... which is another post in itself) I asked if he was going to sleep with us forever, even when he got big. He replied, "I'm not going to get big, I'm staying little forever". My heart melted. How I wish that I could keep him little forever!!!!!
