Levi is F O U R ! ! ! !

Levi all of the sudden is huge. At his 4 year well check up this pediatrician was surprised to see he'd grown 4.5 inches just this past year and gained 8 pounds. Insert that shocked face emoji here.


One of the many exasperating traits of this child is that he rarely stays buckled in the car. Recently when I asked him why he was LAYING ON THE FLOOR OF THE VAN while I was driving he said "God wants me to do pushups right now."
He loves to wear belts.
She was having tummy troubles and I said I think it's just gas. Levi, "Shep did not swallow gas!"
We recently went to his parent teacher conference. I wasn't NOT nervous. But to our pleasant surprise it went well, like really well. Of course we still dealt with his normal behavior stuff, mainly that he has zero regard for authority. BUT (and levi would actually make that a BUTT) the positives are that he is ready for kindergarten academically... he just has another year and a half before he actually goes. Sometimes his frustrating traits overshadow the fact that he is really smart. He writes his first and last name by memory and is starting to do other names and words.

His teacher also told us that he knows what type of milk all of his friends like and picks them up for them when they eat lunch.
Still primarily identifies with the villain. But I now see he's more of the Robin Hood type which is encouraging.
Looking at a dollar bill, "He's naked on his head! And chicken nuggets on the sides?"
Riding in the car...
Shep, "Something smells, Levi did you pee?"
Levi, "No, my pee is waiting!"
Him and Shep went through a phase where they played a game where they each played characters called "Black Man" and "Dad."
Also went through a phase where he kept turning off the water to all our toilets.
Yelled for a long period of time in the middle of one night that girls can't go pee because they don't have a wiener.
He keeps driving my contact solution. Maybe he thinks they are little cups?
Says, "Fuss-a-rated" and "Didn't Es-pect that."
Pronounces vitamin like you would say Superman. Vita-Man.
"Like gum?" When I told Levi I had a song stuck in my head.
Loves symmetry.
"Why, it's just pretending." When we told him to stop picking at a fake plant.

 We celebrated Levi and Makenna's birthdays at Kobe. The kids all sat together and had the best time.


 Birthday donuts :)





Later that day we went on a walk/bike ride and one of our neighbors got TP'd. Levi gasped, "Beautiful!" Then literally danced underneath the toilet paper blowing in the wind and while singing Hallelujah.  The most unpredictable human on earth. 

Zach and I made a treasure map for him to find all of his presents. Printable PDF coming soon.


















 A few days later we went over to my mom's to celebrate his birthday again...
