On Saturday, my sweet Jeremiah turned four years old. That morning I posted a picture collage which listed things he likes. If you still want to know even more about my sweet boy, read his BIO on our "Our Family" tab at the top. I don't think it came as a surprise to you to see Transformers at the top of the list.
