My boy turns FIVE!

Oh my sweet James....where have these past 5 years gone?! I can't believe this big boy is already FIVE YEARS OLD!!!! He is so smart, so full of sweetness, and so silly. I am constantly surprised by how energetic he is and how quickly he learns new things. Starting Pre-K this year was a big step for him, and he has enjoyed every single bit of it! He has mastered the art of beautiful handwriting, he is learning to tell time on a traditional clock, he is starting to learn addition, and he has memorized Bible verses that will be in his heart forever.

This year was a big year for our precious boy. He played on a soccer team for the first time and did tennis camp. He graduated from his precious preschool that he called home for 3 years, and started big boy school at Regents. He taught himself how to swim this summer while we were at the beach. He picked up a baseball bat and began swinging- showing us that there is no doubt that baseball will be in his future! He began to love everything hunting and everything sports.

He continues to have such a sweet and loving heart. He is my best "sharer" and would do almost anything to make his sisters happy. He is still very sensitive and can crumble in a heartbeat if he thinks someone is upset with him. He cuddles, hugs and kisses like a champ! His energy seems endless most of the time- he runs faster and plays harder than any little boy his size! He loves to learn and is becoming such a little scholar. I am just so proud of our little guy.

Oh I hope this year brings James so much joy, love, and strength. I hope he continues to love the Lord with his whole heart. I hope keeps loving his sisters the way he does, and I hope he never loses the sweetness in his soul. Happy Birthday precious boy, you mean the world to us!
