Miles turns 4!!

Wow! I'm lying in bed with insomnia and realizing that at it's 5:12am PT and at 8:32ET Miles, you were born a whole four years ago already. You are safely asleep in your bedroom and ieagerly anticipating your birthday party later today.
You have been counting down the days before your party on your fingers and saying "ok, so, 1,2,3,4 ok, 4 more sleeps till my birthday". So last night before you went to bed you were SUPER excited. You also promised me you wpuld take a nap beforr your party today.
I was lucky to be able to spend the whole day with you yesterday and you were very helpful in getting everythung ready for the party. You worked at blowing up balloons, sweeping the back porch, cleaning out your playhoise, packing up toys, filling the pinata, baking your chocolate cake from scratch and carving pumpkins for decorations!! Yes, even as a small boy you were able to set aside fun and do the work to prepare for even bigger things tomorrow.
You have a cool Spiderman costume and I already had your birthday CD made for weeks now so you know the words to the Spiderman song and a good bit of the others. It is a highlight of my day to sing with you in the car on the way to and from school.
So what have you accomplished in your 3 rd year? You love school. Prefer it to just staying home! You learned to ride a bike without training wheels in May 2011 in Germany with your Uncle Duane and Eva and their kids, you travelled to Europe TWICE this year. Spent 2 weeks in Germany in May then 7 weeks in Suffolk England from July 20-Sept 11. Your best friend is Lorelei Lott and she has already told her mom that she is going to marry you. She tried to marry you a month ago but you didn't want to because she only had a butterfly ring and you really wanted a green one because that is your favorite color.
You are around 105cm and weigh 41 pounds. You love to dress in your Addidas Tracksuit, your Spiderman hoodie that talks when you push a button ( it says "it's web swingin time!"), you love wearing "fast running shoes". You proclaim that you are "the worlds best backward walker" - and you havent fallen yet. You made an amazing painting of a duck floating on water with blue sky last week at school after a long time of showing no interest in drawing or paint or art of any kind. Your teacher Mrs Stevenson said it was very advanced work for your age.
You are very well liked at school and at home. Your personality is a combination of happy and competitive. You love sports and are taking lessons for swimming, gymnastics and toddler ninjas. You also love riding your bike.
You are a bit vain. You love checking yourself out in the mirror and smiling at yourself and also practicing making an intimidating face. You are currently trying to figure out what things are funny. So you will tell knock knock jokes. You also will watch a sitcom with me that you totally dont understand like Big Bang Theory and laugh along hysterically with the laugh track which makes me laugh hysterically too till we are both laughing along at whatever the laugh track says is funny, its so fun watching TV with you!
Is there any downside to being Milesy Boy? So far I cant see any. Your future is bright my son and I am so curious to see how your life unfolds and I will be there with you to guide and protect you however I can. Love always, Mom. P.s it's now 8:51 ET, you are 4 years and 19 minutes. Happy Birthday!!!
