This is what my little boy looked like on the day he turned 5. He was so sweet about being 5 years old. He thinks he is so big now. I am so proud of what a kind little boy he has become. He was so excited to go to school and be the line leader. He took cupcakes with speed racer on them and he got to wear a crown all day. When he got to school he told everyone that the 5 year old was there. Since he turned 5 he wants to do everything on his own and try all kinds of new things. He rode his bike the other day without the training wheels for the first time. He was so proud of himself. He also started doing the monkey bars with no help. When Kendra and I got to school to pick him up the other day, he started screaming from the playground "Mommy, Kendra, I can do the monkey bars all by myself!" He did it over and over. He would yell, "Mommy, make sure Mackenzie and Ethan are wathing!" After school he told everyone who would listen about what he could do. He would say, "I have some good news..." He is so excited to be older and bigger. He did however on the morning of his birthday declare to me that just because he was 5 did not mean that he was going to start wiping his own tail. I can't expect him to completely be a man yet.
