AKA:  Bro Bro, Ali Kat, Little T-Rex

33 pound dynamo

Little MacGyver who can make anything out of his PVC pipes, IKEA chairs, sofa cushions, string and other assorted materials and his huge imagination!

Knows and loves his dinosaurs....dozens of them, and will correct you if you happen to mispronounce them.

Chatterbox

Funny

Goofy

Inventive

Loves to learn

Full of questions

A good big brother who loves to entertain his little sister, who happens to be completely fascinated with him.

Loves sushi, boiled eggs, yummy mac and cheese, chile verde, rice, pho, any kind of protein, almonds, dim sum (char siu bao, shu mai, har gow), berries and bacon.  Really, there aren't many foods that he doesn't love.  Dark green veggies, not so much, but other than that, he is pretty adventurous.

Loves to explore outside, play in the sandbox, ride his Strider, and pretend to be a paleontologist.

Avid reader.  Favorites include any Richard Scarry book, Dr. Seuss, DK Eyewitness books (in particular his Dinosaur DK book), atlases (loves maps!), and Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp.

 Loves all kinds of music, jazz, pop, classical.  Songs of the year:  Dino-mite (Dynamite) by Taio Cruz, Life is a Highway by Rascall Flats (from Cars), I'm Yours by Jason Mraz, and anything by Lady Gaga, as well as songs from the Nutcracker.

Really enjoys school, his new friends there and his teachers Miss Jennifer and Miss Jaime.  Definitely not the same shy guy that went to school last year.
Hard to believe that four years have passed, but we look forward to all of the excitement of the year ahead.
Happy Birthday Alex!
