My boy is 5 years old!




My son is now 5 years old! It is hard to believe that he is old enough to start kindergarten! We decided to wait to give him a little more time to be ready. He loves to learn and I am sure would love it. However, I would rather him be older than younger. Plus my Uncle Lynn once asked if I would rather him have an extra year to be a kid or an extra year to be an adult. We chose kid. For his birthday party the Saturday before his actual birthday we had a splash party with a slip n slide, lots of sprinklers, and water balloons. Oh and a delicious chocolate cake. On his actual birthday we went bowling and then to the Royals game that night. He got special treatment at the game. He got stuff from girls in the KC Crew and a man sitting behind us got him a baseball with Kauffman Stadium on it from the gift shop. I think he had a great birthday. We even took him golfing the next day! Here are 5 things that are great about Liam:
*He doesn't know a stranger. He talks to everyone and wants to be friends with everyone. He actual talks a little too much sometimes! :)
*He loves to learn. Recently he even said, "I want to learn so I can be smarter".
*He loves to share his knowledge even if his ideas are a little off and don't make sense.
*He wants to be a professional golfer when he grows up. He even got a gift certificate for golf lessons that came with a golf shirt and golf balls. When we golfed the day after his birthday he was very adamant about wearing his new golf shirt.
*He is a kind and loving boy. He tries to help his sister and other little kids when he sees they need help. This kindness makes him a little sensitive at times too.
