How Time Flies…My Baby is FIVE!

Preston is five.  FIVE!  I am stunned at how quickly time has gone.  I must admit I love this age.  Talking to Preston is like talking to an adult anyway.  Except then you look down at this slightly over three foot child and just cannot believe the stuff that comes out of his mouth! Aunt Melski and Aunt Tinka also came down to spend the weekend!

As we left the house Saturday night to head to dinner, I was less than amused by the precipitation that was white in color falling from the sky.

Sunday we had Preston’s birthday party at All Fired Up, a pottery painting place.  All his friends came to spend the afternoon in his honor.  It was truly adorable to watch the kids take painting their pieces so seriously!

This morning Preston got to open his gifts from the family.  I decided this year to get Preston a digital camera.  He always wants to take pictures on my camera and does a great job.  I’m just more comfortable with Preston having his own camera…when he’s outside…wanting to take pictures on the patio…that is concrete. 

Our neighbors, the Capparelli’s left a balloon tied to my car this morning for Preston.  He was extremely excited to find that there.  He also had a party in school today.  We picked out plates, napkins and cups and then bought cupcakes and cookies (I would have loved to bake but the school doesn’t allow homemade goods). 

Well baby, you are now five.  You told me tonight you want to be five forever.  I’d like that because then I would be 32 forever.  Although I’m assuming at some point you’ll want to move out of the house.  Preston, I love you with all my heart.  You are my heart.  You are my reason for living.  Happy Birthday my sweet, smart, handsome man!!! Mommy loves you!
