He's 5!

My baby boy turned 5 on Saturday. He wanted to go to Kids Club for his party. For those that don't live here, Kids club is a giant indoor playground. It was crazy busy because it was a saturday, but the kids had fun. Then we came back to the house for cake and ice cream. He wanted a Transformers cake for his b-day:

Here is his friends: Braedon

Kaitlyn, Natalie and Lee

Gavin, Katie and Matt

Aaron got him this gian lego star wars ship, and then proceeded to spend an hour and a half putting the thing together. Not sure how much Matt enjoyed that part of it, but he likes playing with it.

This was his favorite present, so thanks to Grandma Krimme!

Here is a little bit about Matt:

-He loves cars, planes, dinosaurs, Transformers, Star Wars and Super Heroes.

-He has also recently gotten into video games (Wii and Nintendo DS). He likes them a little too much, and we have to strictly enforce his hour playing time. I was kind of sad about this at first, but after his hour is up, he still goes and plays with his toys

-I love to sit and listen to him play (when he doesn't realize I am there) because he will make up whole worlds and they are so intricate and unique each time.

-He is a little resistant to school work, but is getting better at recognizing his alphabet and his numbers. I think he knows them, he just gets bored and doesn't want to work on them.

-He loves to ride his bike and is quite the little dare devil.

-His best friend is still Katie Atkinson, and they play so well together. Not to mention they are super cute together too :)

-He loves primary and his teacher tells me he is very well behaved. However my friend is in the presidency and she related that one Sunday her and presidency were cracking up because Matt had turned around in his chair and proceeded to lick the back of the chair over and over (Yuck!). So sometimes he does apparently get distracted.

-He still has a little trouble with his C's and K's and I love to still hear him call is sister "Taitlyn"

-He still loves to cuddle and I think it will break my heart when he no longer runs up to me just to give me or hug, or asks me to hold me. I love you Matt! Happy Birthday!

*Since I've had a couple of people ask, yes I am holding him back a year, so he will do one more year of preschool and will start Kindergarten next year when he is 6. There are many reasons behind this, but most importantly I think it will be the best thing for Matt*
