Our little monkey is 5 years old! Jack is still our energetic boy who is always on the go. He is growing up so much and its fun to see him transform into a sweet and spirited little boy!
Here are a few highlights of Jack at the age of 5:
- Jack is obsessed with superheroes! He is always pretending he is a superhero fighting the bad guys. He also loves to dress up in his superhero costume and masks. Swords and guns are also part of his superhero play, much to my dismay.
- He is a very good big brother...most of the time! He is Katy's best friend and does a good job of including her in his imaginative play. He is also great with Drew, which is evidenced by Drew's huge smile and laughter whenever Jack walks into the room.
- Jack is in love with Legos. He was so excited to have his "small Lego" birthday party with his friends this year. No more Lego Duplos for him....he has moved on to the real thing and tells us this all the time! He could spend hours playing and building with his Legos, which is fun to observe.
- He has become quite a big eater lately. He cleans his plate at most every meal and is always asking for snacks in between. It is obvious he is a growing boy! Although this is not reflected on the scale. He is still a little peanut, weighing the exact same as Katy, who is two years younger than him. He brings up the rear on the growth charts coming in at the 2nd and 5th percentile for weight and height, respectively.
- Jack still loves music and loves to sing. I am always amazed at how quickly he learns the words. He knows most of the lyrics to the songs from our vacation bible school CD and loves to sing his songs from preschool. He also loves the song "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line.
- Jack is finishing up his second year at Walnut Hills Preschool and is looking forward to starting at a new school this fall. School is not always his favorite, as he would prefer to stay home and play most days....hopefully this changes soon as he still has many years of school ahead of him!
