Jack Attack

Happy Birthday to my beautiful boy!
I can't believe that Jack is 5! I know those of you who have older kids 5 is nothing, but I'm kinda sad, because he is getting older so fast. I am sad for when he leaves me all day to start kindergarten. This is all new territory that I'm not sure I'm ready for, I know this next year I will be crossing a threshold, which I can't come back from. Once school starts it's serious business. No more play dates, or deciding what to do for the day on a whim, homework here we come!
Anyways, getting off track here: I just wanted to list my 5 favorite things about my boy (which will be hard to narrow down)!

1. Funny: This kid is not lacking in the personality department. If you need an example ask me about the Dr's appt on Monday. Or about what he said about a BEAUTIFUL girl in preschool.
2. Smart: He loves to learn and surprises me with new things all the time.
3. Sweet: He is a sensitive boy and senses when others need a pick me up, which is rare for a kid his age (I think) and for a boy:)
4. Outgoing: He will usually talk to anyone, anytime and always makes friends where ever he goes. If there is a new kid at preschool he will tell me all about them the first day.
5. Helpful: Which is great! He will always (and with minimal complaining) help me clean up, make is bed, wrap presents, cook, anything.

Happy Bday to Jack, I too cant believe he is 5, that seems so old for our little boys. Couldn't agree more with your 5 points about Jack - especially the personality one, holy cow that child is definitely not lacking in that department!

Time flies, even Andy can't believe Jack is 5 already! I still remember when he was a tiny baby in Provo and you didn't want anyone to hold him! When you clipped his finger nails and cut him and cried, I also remember taking a nap with him when he was a baby while you and Brad were in town and wanted to drive around and look at real estate. I'm sad that I have all these baby memories and not toddler ones. We need to be better friends! Tell Jack we said Happy Birthday,what a great little guy!
