Q&A with a 4-year-old on His Birthday!

Dex is 4 years old today!!  Woah.  Time, where have you gone?  He is so sweet and so loving, it just blows my mind.  He still adores his little sister and copies a lot of what I say to her... I hear him say "hey, sweet girl... what do you need, honey?" in a sweet little baby voice and it just melts my heart.  He likes to make her laugh and will pet her head.  He calls her "Pickle Annie" and the whole family has taken to calling her that now.  He can't get enough of his trains (still).  That is pretty much all he does in his free time.  Well, that and ask to play with his friend Cooper.  We read a book or two every night before bed, and it's one of my favorite times with him.  Sometimes Pickle will come with us and swat at the pages.  If she accidentally kicks him, he'll say "Aaa-NNA!!" and once I remind him that she doesn't know what she's doing, he'll pat her head and say "that's okay, sweet girl."  So funny :)

I could honestly go on and on and on and on.  He is my favorite little boy ever (duh) and we could not be more blessed!!

I asked Dex a few questions and video'ed it.  The video is pretty funny, but it's really long and I don't think I need to post it all here.  I'll keep that for our personal family viewing :)  Here is the transcript (minus lots and LOTS of wiggling around in his chair and laughing and jumping).
