5 Years Old

He is so proud of riding a bike - he is amazing at it.



I started off his special day with a stack of 5 mini pancakes. He got to pour his own syrup (imagine ELF) and put 5 Skittles on top! Yummy. He only ate one because it was way too much sugar - even for him!
We picked him up from school and asked what he wanted for dinner - Sprinkle pancakes at Perkins it was! He is wearing his pink Birthday crown his friends at school made for him.
More pancakes! - his favorite at Perkins. The waitress brough him a piece of pie which we brought home.

Super silly guy which we love!

Showing off his muscles.




We came home and he opened his present - a little trampoline. Hopefully it will use up some of his neverending energy!



Today is David's 5th Birthday.

It has been great fun (yet challenging at times) to watch him grow up. Determined, sweet, stubborn, creative, spirited, sensitive - all words I would use to describe David.

The past year has flown by.

David started Pre-school, learned to ride a bike, rode a rollercoaster, took karate, learned to ice skate, practiced swimming.

He lost Grandpa Dave, but still mentions him from time to time so we are happy he remembers his Grandpa who loved him so much.

David still doesn't like to watch many movies (except Cars), but LOVES watching Berenstain Bears, Caillou, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
