Cash is 5 Years Old! He let us know yesterday at 4 a.m., and 6 a.m., and just about every hour since! He had a very relaxed birthday as he has plans with friends this weekend and got to do things he usually doesn't get to do, like watch an entire movie in one sitting in the middle of the day (Kung Fu Panda 2, thanks Grandpa Rick!).
His good buddy Tamara-sensei gave him an Optimus Prime!
He wanted to make his cake and decorate himself, as big boys do:
Blowing out the candles! Not sure what's going on with his floppy hair :)
Here are some other things 5 year olds do, according to Cash:
--protect their sisters on the playground ("Get back here, I'm a 5 year old!")
-- eat red peppers (only 6 year olds are big enough to eat tomatoes)
--flip their own pancakes
--stand on stools to reach tall things
--no longer pick their noses
--use a lighter (sorry, bud, not this year!)
Cash is so fun, and we are so excited that he is 5 years old now! He loves to color, read out loud, play outside, and snuggle his brother. He loves the show Wild Kratts and really likes when I show him old shows that I used to watch, like Rescue Rangers and Inspector Gadget.
Cash still eats a banana every morning, just as he has since he was 1. He loves fish, meat, and curry rice. This boy will not eat string cheese, flavored yogurt, or pizza!
It is really fun to have Cash around. He is a great helper and is eager to please. He loves to count the members of our little family and proudly announce, "The boys are winning!"
Cash is a great big brother and almost never hits back when he is being bullied (sadly) by Coco. We have to tell him to stick up for himself with her!
He has just started asking a TON of questions--"Why does soap make use clean?" "Who is Heavenly Father's Father?" "How does your body make milk?" Keeps us on our toes!
I remember very clearly what my little brother David was like growing up, and Cash reminds me a lot of him. Very sensitive, active, and curious.
We really love our Cashy boy and look forward to what this next year brings for him!

Hey! I'm not sensitive. That really hurts my feelings, you jerk.
Naw, I'm just playin. Looks like a fun b-day!
Happy Birthday Cash! I love his list of things 5 year olds can do. Apparently, we've used the "maybe for your birthday" line with Nathan one too many times because now he thinks his birthday will be some kind of free for all. Every time I tell him to stop doing something naughty he says, "okay. I'll do that on my birthday."
Love that boy and can;t wait to see him as a 5 year old!
