Nicholas is 5!



I can hardly believe it... how on EARTH is my little guy 5 years old? Wasn't it just yesterday there were 30 or so people in the delivery room ready to wait on you hand and foot? Now here you are... nearly ready for Kindergarten!
A typical Nicholas day starts with you in bed... reading. You enjoy spending 30 minutes or so lounging around in bed with a good book (just like your Mom!). Around 7:30 or so, you get up, take a shower, and get dressed for the day. You come running down the stairs, searching for someone to help you make breakfast (favorites are oatmeal, yogurt, cereal - cheerios or Daddy's cereal, waffles, coffee cake or banana bread - if we have any).
You are in preschool from 9 - 2 three days a week. You LOVE school & your teacher is great with you. You are rarely in trouble, and love to help out (telling me all the time how much you pick up at school).
The two weekdays you aren't at preschool, you hang out with your Mom & Matthew. We like to go to the park, play with friends, or just hang out at home. You totally love your brother and teach him new things all the time. You entertain each other and we trust you guys to play alone - with only a few incidents.
You love to play with your superheroes (especially Batman or Spiderman) and you LOVE to read. Your favorite books are Magic School Bus Chapter Books, Magic Tree House, and A to Z Mysteries. You also LOVE to clean. When we have friends over, you spend LOTS of time helping Mommy clean and get ready for friends!
This year, we had several parties for you. Our first celebration was at Grandma & Grandpa Harris' house - Uncle Jon & Aunt Shannon were there too! We also celebrated with our Kansas City friends - a puzzle-themed party! Finally, we celebrated in Texas with our new friends - a Buzz Lightyear party! What a great birthday!
