fabulous five

yup, this kid is 5!

and let me tell you, he's a hoot!

His greatest dilema in life right now? "Mom, all the girls want to sit by me (at pre-school) but I only have 2 sides!" Indeed, a rough life.

Some thoughts on Dyl @ 5....

*very, very, very creative. This kid will "create" all day long. If you throw something away, he will dig it out of the trash and make something out of it....no matter what it is. He likes to go down to the unfinished part of the basement and "work". He continues to amaze us with the things he makes. He recently made Sydney a bed, table and skis for her faux American girl doll. If I need a good hour to myself in the afternoon, I get out the glue, macaroni noodles, and some popsicle sticks and tell him to have at it. An hour later i will have a counter full of glue and a sweet log cabin.

*He never stops talking. Even if he is watching tv, he will make sure to keep you informed on every detail....and make sure you are listening. He will say "mom" 32 times if he needs to.

*He loves being the big brother to Stella and Ellery .....actually he loves to make Ellery smile and Stella scream.

*He is hysterical, and also brutally honesty. The other day over PB&J he turns to me in all seriousness and says "Mom, did you know your butt is bigger than dads?"

*He loves all things legos, pokemons, bakugans and the likes.

*He LOVES pre-school, and is doing very well!

the cake

We took Dylan to Chuck E Cheese this year. Poor kid was sick, but he still had a good time.

We love you Dylan! Happy Birthday!
