4 Years Old

Delbert Edward Fredlund is four years old! 

He couldn't be more excited and we couldn't love him more. 

We went to spaghetti factory for his birthday dinner which was all he could talk about - then he ate zero. Turns out he came down with a fever the next day, so probably wasn't quite feeling his best.
But they did love the balloon animals that came around.

A little bit about this boy who keeps us on our toes with some of his favorite quotes.
He calls his dad (in an endearing way of course) 'Knucklehead' or 'Uncle' or 'Punchy'
As in 'Knucklhead, can you please get me a glass of milk?' or 'I need a punchy!' as he runs over and begins punching his leg
He still has a thing for rubby rubbies - and has now 'acquired' three of my scarves he rotates and sleeps with. And he still loves a good snuggle.
'What do you think I am?!' is a phrase often stated when we ask what he's up to.
Bedtime is still a struggle, although lately he's been sneaking up into Audrey's bed so although it's delaying sleep it's not fighting with us - we'll take it as a win.
'Nope. Not Doing it' - if you ask him to pick up anything.
'I'm very good' - when asked how he's doing
'You Betcha!'

Although Audrey is very curious about things like kids getting really sick or news that is happening now, Del will cover his ears and state 'I don't want to talk about that anymore. I don't want to dream about it!'

He's a big fan of super heroes, transformers, Paw Patrol and PJ Mask.
He doesn't forget things easily - he still talks about the terrible medicine we forced him to take for his sinus infection over the Christmas break.
He is getting some good friends at school who he loves to talk about and play with.
He loves to dance and sing and ultimately is great playing with his sister but also knows how to push all of our buttons. As a good son/brother should! :)
