Hasses aren't only avocados.

Pater: AJ4 turns 4!!!

Happy Birthday, AJ4! You are becoming such a funny, intelligent, happy, friendly little man.  We love watching your very distinct personality standing out in a busy household and a crowded group of Avocado Juniors.

In any family, the youngest child can sometimes be swallowed up in the business of life, overshadowed by older siblings who are inventing, creating and achieving new milestones on a daily basis, while the youngest is left to repeat goals already accomplished once, twice and thrice.  Yes, you also benefit from having more laid back parents, who have tried and tested fear, worry and angst on your older siblings and can now relax and give you more freedom.  But that's just further reason for why a youngest child can be ignored and overlooked, becoming the quiet kid who finds expression in whatever's leftover from their siblings.  But not you, AJ4! Oh no.  You defy that stereotype and grab life by the horns, making sure everyone knows who's in charge.  And whether it's achieving the new or repeating the old, you successfully layer your very distinct personality and make it your own.  Is that the reason we love you so much?

Or is it because you are so adorable with your best friend?

Or because you're so good at helping in the garden (okay, so maybe that's just something Pater appreciates)?
Or because you're just so darn cute?
Or because you play hard...
...and rest hard?
Could it be because, despite the COVID-induced home schooling, you're such a diligent and ace student?
Or even because you love your family so much?
So do Mater and Pater love you to the moon because you're the youngest, or the funniest, or the cutest, or any other superlative adjectives?  Nah, that was just an excuse to fill this birthday post with lots of photos of you!  We love you...because you're you!  Happy Birthday AJ4!!!
