Nicholas Turns 5!!!

I can not believe that this day has come and gone. It wasavery tough day for me to officially exit the baby and toddler years. I would have kept one around forever if I could. I love babies but even more love toddlers. I am trying to treasure every moment I have with all of my "babies" because this birthday more than all of the rest showed me how fleeting time is and they will be "gone" from our little home in no time. Nicholas is my most artistic and creative child in the toddler and preschool years. He loves to do anything that involves a scissors, glue, crayons, markers....you get the point. No legos, cars, action figures for this kid. He walks around all day writing letters interviewing and taking notes on all of us. He also thinks he is formally enrolled in history, grammar...etc. I guess the perks of a homeschooled home! The cake was a cookie cake with a pig on it....as odd as it may seem, he seems to like them very much and imitates them often. Nicholas chose to have a picnic at the beach for his birthday. Not surprising as we visit the beach frequently especially during the spring. So as we head in to the elementary years with Nicholas I look forward to how much creativity and artistic flare he will add to our every day schooling activities. I never turn him down when he says "hold me mommy" because I know my days are numbered to hear those words and I cherish each time he asks me to for now while I can! Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!

Happy 5th Birthday to my Baby Boy
