Dear Liam,
You are now five years old. THIS IS CRAZY TO ME! I took the day off for your birthday, and we spent the day together. We went to Target (to look at toys, of course), went to a movie (Walking with Dinosaurs), got a Happy Meal from McDonald's for lunch (your choice), and played at home in the afternoon. You had a birthday party the next day with three of your friends from school- Foster, Ethan, and Ayden. You boys had so much fun! The amount of noise four boys can make is astounding, but I'm glad you had a good time.
We then ended up having an unexpected five day weekend, instead of just a three day weekend (since your birthday was on a Friday). The campus was closed on both Monday and Tuesday, for extreme cold and snow, and your daycare was closed, too. We had such a great time together. This gave you lots of time to play with all the toys you'd received for Christmas and your birthday. We were definitely a bit stircrazy by the end!
You are starting to read, and it's amazing to me. You read all of Hop on Pop a few nights ago, without very much help from me. When we finished it, you said, "Mommy, let's never stop reading books." I admit that I started to cry. I love that you love to read, and I hope that that never ends.
Love you, sweet boy,
Mommy
