Price Family Shoutouts: Happy Birthday to Roland, again and again and again

It has been an amazing 4 years! Roland has already told us that he is "a man" three times since he turned 4. While that is funny, I sometimes think he really thinks it is true. He has been something else. Last week he has started rolling his eyes at me (which makes me bust out laughing, Roland, too). And this week he has been "talking with his eyebrows." Roland has somehow morphed into a pretty good big brother. He is being really helpful with Duncan, and tries to look out for his best interest, at least sometimes. And, he is a really good son, most of the time. He tells us "thank you" and "I love you" at all the right times. We are suckers for a sweet face.

The other night we had a huge meltdown because I told Roland we would not go to the toy store due to his bad behavior, which resulted in tea (Roland) and food (Shane)being dumped on my carpet. After 30 mins of crying , I caved and said that if he could write his name, something I have never seen him do, he could go to Wal Mart (aka Satan's spawn when you have kids) to get a toy. He said, "Sniff sniff sniff, I need a pencil," and proceeded to write his name. Motivation is everything.

I am sure there are at least a million things I could tell you about this last year and all Roland has surprised us with, but I'd never get anything posted at that rate. He sure keeps us on our toes.

The Big Day!
