Britton turned FIVE!!!

November 20Th Britton had his FIFTH Birthday! We actually celebrated it in October when all of his cousins came, so he has thought he was five for a month before he actually turned five. He was so excited at all of his new gifts and every time he opened a present his face would show the most amazed reaction of surprise and delight followed by a gasp of air. Opening presents to Britton is the absolute funnest thing in his world. It ended up that his FAVORITE gift was actually a Sponge Bob card that Steve sent and it sang a Special Happy Birthday song (Sponge Bob style). He walked around the house with it for days, we finally had to tell him he could only listen to it outside (we were losing our sanity).
He is so excited to go to school next year, and to start playing sports. He REALLY wants to play Tball with Benson and should be able to in the spring. Even though he is loud and proud at home when he gets around others he is quiet and reserved and does not want anything to do with the spotlight. He constantly says things to crack us up. Like today he was watching Benson play a game on his game boy and Benson was fighting a "bad guy" all of the sudden Britton breaks out with, "Focus.... Focus... Focus.... YOU DID IT!" As he said this his arms went into the air and he was so happy for Benson.
Right now Britton's favorite game is Go Fish and we play it EVERYDAY multiple times. He is doing so well in preschool (we do it at home). His favorite thing is numbers and he LOVES addition. He loves to sing and actually has a great ear for music. Dan will put on a cd and only let it play a few notes before he pauses it and then Dan will ask Britton what music it is to and Britton 99% of the time will know exactly what music it is. His favorite movie is ALL of the Indiana Jones movies and Indiana Jones is also his favorite character to dress up as (we have the costume). My hair is still his "blankie," he has played with it since he was born and still when he is to sad he will come and hold it until he calms down. His favorite food is ANYTHING pasta (just like his mommy). He loves that he is a new big brother and still loves being a kid brother to Benson.
Happy Birthday my Britton Boo, I love you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. God knew I needed you when you came and I will be forever grateful to have you as my child!
