It is hard to believe that Dashel turned four in March! It just doesn't seem possible.

Here are a few things that describe him right now it time:

He is so intense.

So loving and caring of others.

He would do anything for Gavin. He always shares with him. He will by something for himself then will give it to Gavin and say, "I want Gavin to have cool things".

He is sweet.

I am often amazed at how logical he is.

He has a great memory for the placement of objects.

He is not one to leave something behind or lose things.

football party
mom: "Dashel what kind of a birthday party do you want ?"
dashel: "I want two football players to come to my house and tackle each other."

the football cake that I baked
(whole wheat, low sugar, banana chocolate with chocolate cream cheese frosting)
and
crafted together to make the messy masterpiece
I have to say it turned out better than I thought it was going too.
