But I had to post this morning..... today is Mr. B's 5th birthday. I can't believe that my baby boy is 5! We woke him up with a big Happy Birthday song and let him open his gifts this morning because I have to be somewhere this evening. He was so excited!
When we arrived at school this morning, he looked disappointed and said, "Mama, where are all the decorations and my birthday presents?" We did have to have a little talk about how we don't expect 
birthday presents, that they are gifts and that makes them special. Hopefully he's forgotten all of that by now -- he ought to be tearing into the cookie cake I sent for Snack this morning!! Mmmmmm....
If only I could bottle up this zest for life and learning and always keep it around to remind him as he gets older what its like to be excited about everything. He's a joy and I am such a lucky mom. I can't wait to watch him grow, even if it does mean he becomes 6....and 7....and 15....and 30. Ahhhhhh, what joy the future holds too. Kindergarten is just around the corner....I can't believe it.
Happy Birthday big boy....
