Xavier’s Birthday is on monday… I can’t believe that he is going to be 5…

He had another growth spurt not too long ago and the size 4 pants that he has been wearing for a year are all at his ankles and now they are fitting Colin…

Not only has he had a physical growth spurt but he also has changed so much in his behaviour… he has more impulse control, he talks his way out of situations more… telling Colin that hands are not for hitting for example and diffusing the situation with words instead of making thing worse by hitting back. His language skills have also increased immensely and when he watches TV he rather watch shows on Discovery Kids or the Discovery channel than Treehouse.

When we asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday he said he wanted to go to the Cabin and celebrate there… with no family but maybe just two of our adult friends… He wants me to bake a Carrot Cake with Cream cheese Icing and to hear the frogs while he sleeps… A friend of mine Amy gave us some Tonka trucks from her husbands childhood and we will bring a few of those to the Cabin also… they are perfect and will be well loved and played with…

I am really happy with the gifts that we finally chose also…

This is the best!! Quadrilla Twist Set Wooden Marble Run

and kit to grow a venus fly trap, the Pirateology book and a little robot…

I can’t believe it…. 5!
