Hard to believe this little dude is 5. Seriously. I hear people say things like this a lot, but I really can't comprehend that it was 5 years ago when we brought him home. He has proven to be one of the biggest joys of my life, even with all of the challenges along the way. He's not perfect, but neither am I. I have made many mistakes along the way, but he still loves me anyway.
What's better than that?
Nothing.
Here are some things I love about Preston from the past year:
You make great sound effects when we read books- especially explosions
You ask me to scratch your back SOFT-A-LY
You put your underwear on your head and your shirt on your legs to be silly after bath time
You NEVER forget about dessert
You say, "May I be excused?" after dinner
You love to talk to Barber Clint and get your haircut
You play "I love you more than....." with me
You make a cute kissy face when you pet MC
You make Callie laugh
You love to be a superhero. ALL. THE. TIME.
You squint your eyes when you laugh
You sing
You remember EVERYTHING
You give me air hugs
You blow me kisses when I leave the room at bedtime
You work hard on your homework and can READ books to me AND do multiplication
You let Callie call you Bobby
You wear Superman underoos
When I push you on the swing you say, "Push me all the way to Mars! To Jupiter! To the Moon!"
You use your fingers to help you do your Math homework
You eat popcorn with me and watch movies on special nights
You still cuddle with me in your chair every night before bed
You put your head on my shoulder when we read books together
You asked Daddy to get me cozy pajamas for Christmas
You always run to me and give me a hug when I pick you up from school.
You love to make people laugh
You say, "I feel sick" and then sit on the whoopie cushion
You can buckle your seat belt
You dress up like a super when you go get comics with Daddy
You let me paint your toenails blue (just once- Daddy made me promise)
You wave to me out the window when I leave
And, most importantly, you forgive me when I mess up. You love me. You hug me. You complete me.
