Wallace turned 4 yesterday! I was a terrible mother and scheduled his annual checkup on his actual birthday. "/ He ended up getting 4 vaccines! Handled it like a champ though. It ended up being a ridiculously busy day. I took some donuts up to his school in the morning, so we had a small celebration up there. And then they happened to be having a special Dad's thing in his class that afternoon, so Josh went to that and then took him up to work with him for the rest of the day until his doctor's appointment. And then he had swim school with Anna last night! Talk about a long day... Josh was nice enough to take all three kids to swim school which gave me a little time to quickly frost and decorate his cake. :)

It was hastily put together, but I think it turned out okay.  Wallace liked it! — It was hastily put together, but I think it turned out okay. Wallace liked it!

He was all worried Meredith was going to blow out his candles.

Meredith is a birthday photobomber.  Anyway, the best part about this cake was I didn't have to slice it!  :) — Meredith is a birthday photobomber. Anyway, the best part about this cake was I didn't have to slice it! :)

Since it was such a late night, I only let him open one present, a train engine, and I let him take it to bed with him. He'd already opened his awesome gift from Jen the night before anyway. Plus, I apparently like to stretch birthdays out over 3 or 4 days. :)

Tonight we opened the rest of his gifts.

She just wouldn't stop tearing up the tracks.

You tell her, bud!  "Back off!  It's my birthday week!"  :) — You tell her, bud! "Back off! It's my birthday week!" :)
