Mac's Birthday

My little ball of fire turned 4 on April 30th. He is so busy and into everything. Over the last year he has earned the nickname of Mac the Destroyer for obvious reasons. The kid just enjoys being destructive. We made up a little story for him in an effort to teach him to be nice. It goes like this.
Once upon a time there was a little boy named Mac the Destroyer. He was a special little boy. He good bounce off the walls. He could talk his Mom's ear off. He could knock down buildings with the sweep of his arm. One day Mac the Destroyer slowed down long enough to notice something. He noticed that everyone around him was sad. When he asked why they were sad they told him it was because he broke their things. Mac the Destroyer did not want others to be sad so he promised to stop destroying things and use his powers only for good. He learned to help others and be kind to their things and soon they changed his name to The Amazing Mac.
He likes his story and I can only hope that he catches on to the moral of the story soon. We had a good family birthday party for him. He requested a lava cake so Ryan and I put forth some of our best efforts and tried to make a volcano cake with red lava icing spurting from it. Not the best looking cake ever but it really did taste good and that is really what counts. Mac is so stinking cute and really funny. He is also very polite and is quickly learning the power of words. Like if you say something nice it sure gets you far. We are so grateful to have our sweet white-haired little boy in our family.
