So far, he’s loving being 5.
He woke us up at 6:45 am saying, “Do you know what today is?” PisecoDad tried to encourage him to go back to bed, but they were both downstairs by 7:10.
He had three presents from us: a big castle tower (made from faux stone, not wood, to be the “other” castle when he plays with his big wooden one), a Star Wars Lego set (Slave I, which he started assembling at 7:15 and just now finished) and the DVD set of Planet Earth, which we’re all watching now. He is THRILLED with all three things.
We went out this morning to have his portraits done and stopped at the bookstore for an air conditioning break on the way home. He has been telling anyone and everyone, “Did you know, I’m already five?” His favorite photographer had a blast doing his portraits today, and the lady sitting next to us at the bookstore cafe told us what a wonderful boy we have. And then she went on to say “What a perfect way to spend your birthday, here, at the bookstore, with your parents!” We agreed.
It’s back to Planet Earth for me, then in an hour and a half we meet the Honorary Aunts & Uncles at Chuck E. Cheese for a big birthday celebration. I love to see him so happy. He looks SO OLD to me today too, it might be the haircut, and it might just be that - gasp - he’s actually five.
