My baby boy is 5 today! I can't believe where the time went! He still seems so little to me, yet in a month he's going to kindergarten. :(
Anyhow, this boy was born at 3:41pm, July 28, 2015. He's been a mamas boy since the day he was born, and I really don't mind that at all! :) Hes an EF5 tornado!
He is one heck of a loud child, always talking (loudly), always giggling about something, always talking about farts or poop or weeners because thats what big brother and sister talk about so it must be pretty cool! He's Mr. Social like his big brother. He never hesitates to pick the flowers off of my plants, or the dandelions, and give them to me. If i'm sitting on the couch with a drink, he brings a little chair over to me so I can put my drink on it. He always thanks me for making dinner. He cuddles with me every morning, with his stinky breath and all, but I don't mind. He still sleeps with us most nights. He starts in his room, but he ends up in ours, and he fits so comfortably in my arms. But at some point in his sleep he decides he needs his space and sprawls out like a star fish, but this star fish kicks and kicks, not enjoying being under the blankets. He still picks at my moles. Its sooooo weird! 😂 He's constantly moving. And he never lets me leave the house without giving me a hug goodbye.
Nursing was his favorite thing ever, and we finally stopped in May. It was sad for me, it felt like I was letting go the last of his babyhood. About the same time, he stopped wearing diapers to bed, and is now fully potty trained.
He seems to feel everything deeply. He gets intensely mad when he loses at games, his feelings get hurt easily, but he loves fiercely.
He is not a big eater. Its hard for him to sit for long and eat, especially when others are up and doing other things around him that he wants to do. He's not as picky as Avery, but he's not as accepting of food as Jadon. He loves top ramen, watermelon (which he pronounces "wather molen"), berries, muffins, danimals and gogurts, pasta.
He loves video games, including Minecraft, cars of all shapes and sizes, and running and jumping.
He enjoys harrassing Macy. I don't think hes intending to harrass her, I think he just loves her so much, and all animals for that matter, that he wants them to love him too and play with him too.
A few weeks ago, he was outside with me, and I was watering plants or something. I felt him put something in my pants pocket but didn't think anything of it, until he says "Oh mooom, I put something in your pocket....... its a dead spider!" My heart starts beating faster and I check my pocket and sure enough, he had put a dead house spider, the kind of spider that I am DEATHLY afraid of, in my pocket, and there's no way for me to get it out without touching it or taking my pants off and shaking it out. But my first thought was that maybe its just playing dead, and I've got to get these pants off as fast as I can! I almost ripped them off right there on the deck, but I ran inside and made it to the hallway before they were ripped off of me. I felt like spiders were crawling all over me! It was awful!!! And then once I had redressed, I went to get the spider out, but my nerves were so shot already, and I was afraid I would touch it, so I said "Someone is going to have to get this spider out of my pocket because I can't do it." So Jadon comes over, takes the pants, exposes the spider and starts running at me. I run and hid in the closest room which happened to be Carters room, and slam the door shut. I hear Avery screaming then, and I open the door quick so she can take shelter with me! It was quite the ordeal!
Yes, he's a little stinker. But i'm so glad we have him. He's made me a very tired Mama. He adds additional noise and chaos to our house, but he's such a funny, loving little guy, and my heart is happy to have him, and I can't imagine our family without him in it. 💓💓
