He’s Five!

If I could put age four in a bottle, I would.  Then I could take it out every so once in awhile and take a little sip.  I just think it is a magical age full of imagination, silly songs, stories, words and concepts coming together, and lots of snuggling.  Evan blossomed so much this past year and I suspect age five is going to be just as sweet.  He still loves to express himself in drawings, silly songs, and imaginative stories.  Evan’s got a strong sense of who he is and a confidence that makes him a joy to be around.  He makes friends with people of all ages and backgrounds.  He is also just such a lover, full of snuggles and kisses.  To celebrate his birthday this year, he asked for a watermelon cake again (lucky Mama!) and had a simple party with a few friends over for swimming and water balloons.  We loved the creative homemade gifts they brought, from drawings to a satchel to a slingshot…  We also kept the tradition of visiting his Bedouin twin friends, who share his birthday.
