5 Little Things about Him

This little guy has sure been growing. It is so fun and so sad to look back and see how big he is getting. Every year we take pictures with the number of balloons that shows his age. There's some of the pictures through the year including his latest ones for this year...year five. And here's five little things that I love about my special guy.

1. When you watch a movie, which you love to do, you immediately want to play the movie when it is over. You bring down toys, costumes, and whatever you think will be fitting to the part. If you don't have a toy or costume, you make one up. Lately you've been playing moives like Star Wars, Bible movies, and Little House on the Prairie. You've also been known to play Monsters Inc., Mask, and G.I. Joe.

2. You are super silly. You love doing things to make others laugh. Sometimes it is silly voices or silly dances. You love telling jokes too. But if you think we are laughing AT you...you will sometimes get upset and slump your shoulders over so far that you are also bending at the waist and your head will be tucked all the way to your chin and you might even announce, "YOU HURT MY FEELINGS!"

3. You have suddenly become quite interested in drawing. Mostly, you draw dinosaurs. And what I like most about your pictures is that the entire head is mostly a mouth with teeth and a couple of eyes on top.

4. You are excited about starting school. You have asked me several times this year about when it will be your turn to go. We'll, Little man. your chance its coming up soon.

5. You love playing. Seriously, more than anyone else I've ever known. And at the end of a long day of playing for hours and hours, when I tell you to clean up, you say, "But I didn't even get to play!" Really? Wow! Anyway, your toys of choice right now include G.I. Joes, Star Wars, Legos, and Dinosaurs. You also loving wrestling with Daddy.

And that, my little guy, is my list of 5 special things about you. Of course, I could go on and on. But I mostly just want to say, I love you very much, Mr. Handsome.
