My second baby boy turned 4 today! I can’t believe how fast the time has flown.

He had a SpongeBob-themed cake, and we kept things simple and cozy with my mom and sister here to celebrate with me and the boys. It was small, but it was full of excitement and laughter.

Evan racked up some pretty great presents this year: a Batman coloring book, a VTech kids laptop, a mini radio, two reading books, and a toy GUITAR! He was absolutely thrilled and hasn’t stopped playing with everything since.

Four years old already. Time needs to slow down just a little.

This is a true account written in my own words during the time it happened. I’ve lightly edited it for clarity in the present day (2026), with minimal exclusions, while keeping the original voice and meaning intact.
