The Big 5

Luke turned the big 5 on Thursday. It is so hard for me to believe that 5 years have passed since he was born, but he keeps telling me it's true, so it must be. It was a wonderful week of reminders from Luke, "Mom - my birthday is Thursday." and "Mom, Thursday is a very special day." He kept those up all week long. We teased him that he wouldn't officially be 5 until after 10:18 a.m., the time when he was born, so when he woke up on the big day, he said, "I'm a little bit 4 still, but I'm a little bit 5 too." When he got home from school, he was sure to inform us, "I'm all the way 5 now!" Another word of wisdom from him when he woke up, "I grew last night. Well, my bones did even if I didn't." Too funny! And this morning when I asked him if he was tired after the big day, he told me, "No. I got up at 6:06 this morning." I said, "I know - you got up early and you went to bed a little late, so I thought you might be tired." His reply, "No - that's what I call sleeping in." I'm going to remember that when he's 15! Here are some pictures from the big day.

He cracks me up... sleeping in until 6:06 and his bones growing! I love the pic of him posing in his shoes too!
