Daniel at Five

Well our boy is five. It feels like a big milestone, maybe because it means he'll start kindergarten this Autumn.
He had a low-key day today as the polar vortex part 2 hit us (-11 f this morning) and schools were closed. But he got some very cool presents and he's had fun.

Why yes you are

He's such a different boy from 12 months ago. His confidence has soared. He's doing well at pre-k and starting to join in where he wouldn't have. He's still super tall but as skinny as a spring bean because he rarely eats. He's intelligent, loving, headstrong, independent and funny. Really funny. Also really perceptive, seeing things most people pass by.

I asked him a few questions yesterday ...

Favourite color  - Blue
Toy - Minecraft toys
Film - Despicable Me 2
Friend - Rocco
Place - Chuck E Cheese
Thing about being 5 - Having cake and getting cards
What do you want to do when you grow up?  "I want to own a shop called makin' bacon and make bacon".

Happy Birthday Daniel!  We love you so much and we are incredibly proud of you.
