You only turn 4 once in your life and at 12:30am this morning, it was Emmett John’s turn. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years already. This time last year, Emmett was barely speaking and now he’s having simple conversations. Words will never be able to express just how much I love him and how much he means to me.

We had a rather humble birthday party for him Monday night because we won’t be home tonight in order to celebrate.

We had a special dinner, a birthday cake, presents and a balloon. While I wish we were in a position to do more, he was so happy and that’s all that matters. I even manged to get him a cloud so he could touch it. I found some information online about making a cloud in a bottle. Well, I made one and released it into the air, giving Emmett a chance to touch it.

He was really excited and that felt amazing. It felt like I was able to give him something that he has been dreaming about. 🙂

Please enjoy the pictures and birthday video. 🙂

Happy Birthday my sweet Emmett John. Daddy loves you this big. 🙂
