Mikey's Golden Birthday!

Mikey boy turned five on February fifth!  Happy "Golden Birthday" big boy!  I didn't really know what to do for a golden birthday...so it was pretty much like all the others!  Our next one won't be until Jude turns 18, so I guess I have some time to plan for that!  

Anyway, I seriously cannot believe this crazy boy is five years old!  He has given me a run for my parenting money that is for sure, but he is so full of life and laughs and loves that it is totally worth it.  I still believe there are BIG BIG things in store for this one some day.  

He had a "Paw Patrol" theme this year.  He got some more mission cruiser toys and also a new outfit to sport to school on his big day.  Dad also could not resist getting him a lego, so he got another Lego Batman one: the dune buggy.  Oh, and Grandma Carolyn went all out on his five year old quilt.  Just look at that beauty!  Bonus he actually loved it and is so happy to sleep with it each night (that does not mean however that he has given up any of his other blankets or quilts and now sleeps with a whopping two quilts, three blankets, and two pillows.  He and Luke have moved to the bottom of the new bunk bed while Jude is on the top.  It has been a pretty smooth move so far (now to get Thomas into the crib in Cora's room...)

As I said, Mikey is just so full of life.  He loves playing loud, laughing loud, going to preschool where he is thriving (and has almost learned all his letters...finally!), being outside, having computer/ipad time, Legos, books, songs, animals, he just loves life!  He is my buttercup, my blond haired blue eyed boy.  He and Cora have gotten to playing together very well this year.  And sometimes it even happens with Jude or Luke and if I am super lucky all four can play together for spurts before one or another comes tattling about something or another.  He had his first year of showing a calf at the fair, his first year of swimming lessons, his first year of preschool, and his second year of cubbies.  He is sure that now that he is five he is bigger and heavier and stronger.  He is a challenge and a joy.  We love you Mikey!!!!!
