Colm's 5th birthday

Colm Michael 

5 yrs old

We celebrated your birthday a day early with a little party. Most of the cousins and accompanying aunts, uncles and grandparents were here. You asked for a race car cake. The cake is carrot cake with 5 race cars on it. We played "pin the number on the race car", quite fun and I think everyone throughly enjoyed Uncle Trevor's placement of his number on the ceiling rather the poster! Then on your "real" birthday, we made cupcakes and arranged them in a number 5. 

~ you are quite the active little boy, love all things little boys love ;-)

~ you are very close in size to Caeden these days, I often find you both wearing the others clothes. You are just a little shorter and probably less then 5 pounds different. 

~ you are very much our "night owl", this prompted us to stop naps for both you and Caeden in the last couple months. But if left to yourself, you will always be the last one asleep! 

~BUT, also left to sleep, you are very consistently the last one up as well. It's not all that uncommon for you to get up after 8am. Quite the difference from the others who are usually up by 6:30, if not earlier!

~You enjoy doing school, coloring and doing worksheets. You can write all your letters well and know all the letters, numbers, sounds, etc. But your attention span for school is still pretty short and you are usually ready to go play some more before I finish with Caeden's school ;-)
