Our Mason at Five

Mason is Five Years Old. He loves growing and learning, and doesn't seem intimidated by much. He is still so sensitive to the needs and happiness of those around him, but he has grown into it so that it's not debilitating like it was before. He goes out of his way to sooth his little brothers when they are upset. He smothers his baby brother with kisses (wow, huge change from when D was born). Throughout the day, Mason and Donovan play together, cracking each other up in the process. Of course they fight as well, they are siblings, after all. Here are some pictures from the last few days as we continued celebrating his birthday:

Birthday Present from Uncle Nick. Nebraska finally has some representation in this house.

His actual birthday. We went to the indoor pool.

We wore him out at the pool. I love that he will nap in public.

He burst into my room that morning (rather early, I will add), saying "Moooom I'm five years Ooooold!"

Brothers!

Mason can read. Justin works with him just about every day. They have to "earn" TV time by practicing words and letters.

Mason also learned how to tie his shoe. We are prepping for Kindergarten.

LOVE YOU MASON!
