Little Man is FIVE!!!

Well, he actually turned five on December 9th, but I decided it's better to post late than never! In our house, we really think celebrating someone's birthday on just one day doesn't do it justice so we celebrated the whole week for Little Man turning 5! He has grown so much over the five last years and I'm not sure if I will be able to let him go to Kindergarten next year. For his birthday post, I thought walking through the last five years was appropriate. This is one of my favorite pictures from his first year (or as he would say, this is when he was zero).
Here's when he was 2 and his Aunt TaTa is 7.And when he was 3, I decided to try to grow his hair out... Not one of my better decisions. However, with those big eyes, he looks cute with any hair style. And this gingerbread man is his favorite craft and every year he will ask where it is, so we can decorate the house with it. As you may know, I am not a collector of any sort, I would much rather throw things away, but this one I will keep as long the construction paper holds out!Here's Little Man in OuterBanks when he was 4.And then he turned 5!!! Little Man you are so dear to us and your tenderheartedness continues to grow throughout the years. You are conscious of other's and their feelings and pray for others when they are hurt. You are a special boy who desires to do the right thing and love showing how much you care for your family. You love your brother, even though he can be spicy, and would always rather stay home than venture out. You are 100% boy and can make anything into a gun to shoot the bad guys. You are curious and love to ask questions. We love you and are blessed to have you as our son! Happy Birthday Little Man!
