A whole hand old!!!!

JDC is THRILLED to be a "whole hand old" today!! And he would tell anyone who was willing to listen. :) Actually he has been looking forward to turning 5 since about November. :) And as for me----it makes me happy to see him so happy and excited. (however, the first day of kindergarten may be a different story.)

But we did celebrate him ALL day long today. We love our little boy who always keeps us laughing and guessing what he will do next. It is never a dull moment with him around.

JDC,
I love you more than I can put into words.  You are a very sweet and compassionate little boy who thinks of others.  Yet you do have the "pesky little brother" thing down pat.  But if someone messes with your sister, you are the first one to take up for her. You are a wonderful big brother to AWC and you LOVE to play with him.  You are very loving and always want to check to make sure others are ok if they get hurt. We have a feeling you might be a class clown because you LOVE to make other people laugh. :) And your smile and laugh are contagious. You love to help me cook in the kitchen and I LOVE having you there.  Daddy and I love watching you grow and wanting to learn.  You have become very curious how things work, or how to spell word or what things say.  Even though you are extremely busy~I love having you around and can't imagine what my day will be like when you are in kindergarten.  You sure do keep things interesting. :)

I love you, JDC and I look forward to continuing to watch you grow.
Mama
