He is five!!

And so proud of it! My little guy turned five a few days back and hasn’t stopped talking about it. He will tell anyone who will listen (or not) about turning five. Let’s see…he got an extra toy at the dentist’s office when he told the hygenist it was his birthday. Before you think I am this mean mom to drag him to the dentist on his birthday… he insisted. Really. So far his dentist trips are about the toy at the end of the visit. I am sure it will change at some point. And later in the afternoon, he got some Jelly Beans from the girl at the checkout counter at Trader Joe’s. This is really quite a transformation for him as he used to be a pretty shy kid unwilling to talk to people.

a few pictures of the birthday boy (these are from an outing today)…

and a few of the little pirate with his birthday present which is similar to this cool ship.
