You've officially turned 5 and now fill up 1 whole hand. Turning 5 means that you are headed to Kindergarten this year! I say it every year, but it really has gone by so fast.
You've said goodbye to Primrose after almost 5 years and now you are staying home this summer. I was a little hesitant on how this go, but so far, so good. You learned a lot this year at school. They tell me you are more than ready for Kindergarten, so I hope they are right. I know you are a bit nervous about starting Kindergarten though because new situations tend to make you a bit timid. But I know once you get a couple weeks under your belt, you will love it.
This has been a bit of a rough year for you. You can be such a sweet little boy one moment and another moment, you can be screaming and throwing a fit over us asking you to clean up your toys. You really have been pushing your limits lately and I sure hope this is a phase that will be over soon! There are times that I feel like I'm failing as a parent when it comes to you. Let's just say I'm very much looking forward to turning the chapter on this phase!
You continue to love legos, building things with tools and playing outside. Driving your jeep continues to be a favorite. You've told me you don't have to learn to ride a bike because you can drive everywhere, but I'm hoping that will change. You still collect little things and your most recent fave is collecting money. You love to empty your piggy bank and put all your coins in different containers around the house. So much so, that we've had to hide your piggy bank! I've never met a child that loves money as much as you do.
You love to make people laugh by being silly. You tend to march by the beat of your own drum. It doesn't bother you to wear mix matched clothes or that boys aren't supposed to carry purses. :) I love that about you! You love getting to spend one on one time with me and your Daddy.
You played soccer for the first time this past year and even though you don't love it, you are continuing it for at least 1 more season since you're now on a neighborhood team with kids you'll go to school with. We are going to sign you up for T-ball in the Fall as well, so we'll see how you like that.
It's been a good year Bud and I can't wait to see what's in store for you in the year ahead! To my silly, fun loving boy who still gives the best snuggles, I hope you have the best 5th birthday ever! I love you so much, little man!
Love,
Mommy
