Jack is Turning 5

Well, I love birthdays and I almost hate them. It's so hard to believe that tonight is the last night I'll have a 4 year old boy...time flies so quickly it's painful! Jack's life has been interesting in his little mind, I'm sure. Moving in with Grammy and Papa at a few months old, Daddy going "to school" most of his life, a baby sister born, then moving out of the only home he has known to across town...he may see things as being pretty rough! At least adventure-filled. Jack is my boy--a Momma's boy, and I love that. I hope it is always so. Things I love about Jack:

--He loves to snuggle

--He still wants to pinch "soft parts" of me when he snuggles---neck, back of the upper arm

--He loves pirate things, baseball stuff, race cars

--He REALLY loves Monster trucks and motorcycles

--He likes the Aggies and Texans; but tells me (and not Daddy) he also thinks Texas Tech is "cool"

--He loves anything camo

--He is scared of the dark and loud noises (both come directly from his Mommy)

--He still says "Cowl-lie" instead of "Callie"

--He can remember ANYTHING--seriously

--He hugs his teacher or the school staff anytime he sees them

--He runs REALLY fast. All the time.

--He loves Wendy's hamburgers

--He wants to be a football player, baseball player, fireman, garbage truck man, and construction worker when he grows up.

--He likes to lead prayers, and prays for all the family members (extended) by name almost every time.

I LOVE this kid!! I know there are many more fun times to come, but I'm not ready for him to grow up just yet. I guess 5 is still little enough, right?!
