Stephany Writes

Categories: Relationships

He’s Four.

BabyJovy

He thinks Team Umizoomi is the best show on tv.

He carries his stuffed Goofy around everywhere he goes.

He is obsessed with butts. He took 20 pictures of the aforementioned Goofy’s butt on my brother’s phone.

He always wants pizza and cookies and juice in his “airplane” cup (or sometimes his Santa cup. Or his bunny cup.) when he comes over.

He likes crashing cars, making the silliest faces on Mr. Potato Head, and coloring.

He wants to be a superhero when he grows up.

He is newly obsessed with puzzles and can put together 24-piece ones by himself.

He can recognize all of his letters but “x”.

He is the spitting image of my brother at his age.

He is 100% pure rough & tumble boy.

He can write his name, assist himself in the bathroom, and has helped make cookies many times.

He calls my mom “Drayma” and me “Titi Steph”.

He can have full conversations with us and understands humor and teasing.

He absolutely adores Dutch and thinks Dutch loves him back just as much.

He can be a major grump and has tantrums when he doesn’t get his way.

He attends school where he has a trio of best friends… and can hold his own in a fight. Just sayin’.

He lights up like a firecracker when my mom is around.

He loves watching Youtube videos of Disney parades and the Shamu show at Seaworld on my computer.

He is lively and spry and energetic.

He can go from the grumpiest mood to the silliest, happiest mood like THAT.

He makes life the most fun it’s ever been and there is never a dull moment when he’s around.

He is four.

He has turned our worlds upside down in the best possible way.

He is my nephew and I am the luckiest girl in the world to be his aunt.

Mom: I have to give you a bath! Remember, I was supposed to give you one yesterday and you didn’t want to and I got in trouble with your daddy. He yelled at me.

Jovy turns around, puts his hands on his hips and says to his father, indignant: Why did you yell at my drayma? What’s the big idea?!

Happy birthday, buddy. You are one special, amazing, incredible boy and watching you grow up in just four short years has been a privilege and the best time of my life. I can’t wait to see what this year brings you.

    Hahaha, he is so cute! Love that little convo that you shared at the end. He is a cutie and has a big personality which is awesome. I love each age but I just really love it when they get a bit older and their personalities shine through. Being an aunt is the BEST gig ever!
