Jackson is 5!

I cannot believe my first baby is 5! Time has passes so quickly! It makes me so sad to think he is this big.

• Sweet and caring
• Rule follower and wants to please
• Helper
• Calls himself " The Genius"
• Loves to hold Walker and pick on Brooks
• Just finished 4s preschool at Central and had a great year. He loved his teacher Mrs. Owens and had some of his good friends in his class.
• He has come so far and can pretty much recognize his letters and numbers. He loves to rhyme words and is always asking what words start with.
• Played soccer and t-ball. T-ball was his favorite, and he was pretty good at it. Soccer will always be special because he got his first trophy then! I think he likes t-ball because he has some friends on his team and loves his coaches!
• Wears size 5 and 6
• Loves to read books. He has "Little Red Truck" memorized. I love to listen to him read it.
• Still loves cars and anything with wheels.
• Likes to color and paint and pretty much stays in the lines
• Still a picky eater, but he does eat 5 peas every Sunday night at Noni's. He likes baloney (ham) sandwiches and Dorito sandwiches (bread, mayonnaise, and Cool Ranch Doritos)
• Loves Chick-fil-A and Wendy's. He also likes to eat grilled cheese at Earle Street and J. Peters, but he won't eat them at home.
• He loves that Noni takes him to Wendy's every Friday after school.
• Goes to bed by 7:45 and falls asleep quickly. 
• He likes to be on a schedule.
• He loves to play outside.
• He is a little hoarder and likes to put toys and things in baskets and containers.
• He still has his monkey blanket. He still sleeps with it sometimes, but doesn't take it to Noni's anymore. It makes me sad.
• He is very sensitive and gets his feelings hurt. 
• Has become very independent and does a great job cleaning up his toys. 
• Insists on saying the blessing before dinner and his prayers before bed
