Birthday Boy

Yesterday our sweet David turned FIVE!! Each year seems to fly by faster than the one before. It's hard to believe he'll be in Kindergarten next year!

He continues to grow so much in all areas of life!  Little brother James adores him and is sad when they're separated. David has a tender spirit, but is determined and brave as well. He is learning so much about Jesus and remembers details of Bible stories!

He's definitely a climber and has quickly overcome difficult rock walls, as well as things that aren't intended to be scaled--door frames, poles, etc.

His favorites include: Star Wars, particularly the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca, R2-D2, Darth Vader, and Stormtroopers.  All things Lego. Puzzles- and boy is he GOOD!

David is learning to read, write, and reason! He's such a fast and eager learner :)

Here are some memorable interactions from the past year:

- During a tempter tantrum, David told mommy:
I'm not going to marry you, I'm going to marry daddy.

- At preschool David's teacher Ms. Donna made a little page
telling about each student. One line said "when I grow up I want
to be a _______." What did David say to fill in the blank?!
He said he wants to be a storm trooper!!!

- As Shaun is shaving, David yells "Noooo, you can't
cut your fur. You have to be Chewbacca."

Daddy: David, I think you're going to lose your sticker
for the day (behavior chart).
David's reply: Well I think you're going to lose your vitamins.

- From the bathroom I hear David say, "James, come here quickly.
NOW. I'm about to toot and you're gonna miss it."

- David announced to his BSF teachers that his mommy
was having two baby boys- such an imagination :)

- We had just discovered that someone egged our porch last night.
What was David's response? "Awwwe, look a baby bird hatched."







We love us some David! Never a dull moment...
