5 Years old!

HaPpY bIrThDaY sKyLeR
I can't believe my little guy is not so little anymore.  Skyler is a great  big 5 year old.  He has the sweetest disposition.  He loves to be helpful, and he loves to be the one chosen to carry out any special mission... like get Cody a drink,  mop the kitchen floor, deliver a message to daddy down stairs, help fix dinner.  He enjoys playing with his brothers, kissing my tummy to tell "Baby Boo" how much he loves him, buckle his own seat belt, get on the school bus himself.  No doubt about it, he is growing up.  (He even rides his bike at Occupational Therapy without training wheels... but he will deny it.  One day we will have his confidence up and he will see that he really is riding without so much help.)
Skyler likes to be independent, but always likes someone there to watch him, and he loves being praised.  Once he sets his mind to something, you can't get him to change his mind.  (Yes, he is being MICKEY MOUSE for Halloween... why?  Because we were talking about him being one thing... and another, went to look up pictures of those characters so he could decide, and WHAM, Mickey Mouse showed up in the side bar ads... "I am going to be Mickey Mouse for Halloween Mom!" 
No Question about it though... Spider-man was the only consideration for a birthday cake... 

Skyler just started his 3rd year of preschool.  He LOVES his new school.  He is going to Provo Peaks Elementary and attending the Sunrise Preschool for the 3rd year in a row with the same teacher.  (He attended Farrer Elementary the first year... Oak Ridge the second year (because they were building Peaks and tearing down Farrer)  and now the new school is finished, and "Beautiful" as Skyler puts it.



We have a First Grader in the house also!!!



Stephen J. LOVES school, his class, his teacher.  He is such a sweet boy.  He misses his friends from Kindergarten, but loves making new friends, loves school lunch (most of the time).  He can't wait until the review from Kindergarten is over so he can start learning new stuff.
