My baby boy turned 5 on May 1st. You always hear that time flies, and your babies grow too quickly, and it's true! Five was a hard one for me. I don't know if I was just super sensitive or what, but I burst into tears three times that day. I cry every time my kids have a birthday, but three times was a little excessive even for me. I think it is that five is so old! Not a baby or a toddler anymore... now he is 5 and going to kindergarten in the fall. College is right around the corner!
Our little Logan epitomizes his astrological sign, Taurus the bull. A bull in a china shop pretty much sums up our rough and tumble boy. Forever seeking attention in whatever ways he deems fit at the moment. Always creating his own rules to life and expecting everyone else to follow along. It has been a learning process to parent such a strong willed child. A test of patience for sure, and also a true gift. He loves like he argues - with everything that he has. There is no filter with Logan, what he thinks he says. There is no middle ground with him either, he is thrilled or furious, elated or devastated. Every day is either the "worst day of his life" or the "best day of his life." He is all in, all the time. My hope for him, as his mother, is that he will grow to find the joy in the middle ground- that he will never lose his enthusiasm but that he will gain an appreciation for being a 5 on the emotional scale of life now and then. For Logan-Bogan's birthday he wanted a gymnastics party. Here are some of the pics from the party (thank you Cheri!)....
