Shane's thoughts and questions about turning 5








































I cannot believe that my baby turned 5 today.  That makes me feel so OLD!!  We had a party at McDonald's yesterday for his school friends.  He had a Bakugan themed party and cake.  A few days ago we talked about the cake and he said that he wanted brownies like his Daddy instead of a cake.  Then we found a Bakugan cake he wanted to order it.  At the party, he asked me where the brownies were.  The little turkey, he did not eat his cake at all.  (But, he didn't complain, etither.) 

Today, as soon as he woke up, he asked me "Mommy, do I look taller?" How funny it is that kids want to be bigger so badly, while we as adults, seem to wish time would slow down.

We went to Sarah's basketball game and then had donuts for breakfast.  Midway through the morning, he told me "If I get in trouble and have to go to time-out, I will have to stay 5 minutes instead of 4."  Were he a little older, he would realize that that is not a bit of info that he should remind his mother of...  At 12:15 he said, "Mommy, I haven't been to time-out since I turned 5."  He actually made it through the whole day!!  We met Grandy and PaPa for dinner so that they could keep the kids while I went to a wedding reception.  We enjoyed a chocolate-chip cookie cake. 

As he was getting ready for bed he said, "Maybe I'll lose a tooth tonight."  This one took me awhile...Sarah lost her first tooth the summer that she was 5.  Now, that he is 5...he assumes that he, too will lose a tooth.

It really is true that kids really do say the darndest things...I love having this blog and being able to capture these priceless moments before I forget them.
