5

This little boy was five on Monday.

At five, you:

• Have a 'sense of fun and enthusiasm that is infectious' as your teacher wrote in your first school report
• Love to draw and paint - and have a definite talent for it and a confident, quirky style
• Have recently outgrown your hoover obsession! (thankfully)
• Are loving, caring and so affectionate
• Still have the occasional afternoon nap on the sofa
• Still cry when you get properly told off and it breaks my heart (especially when your bottom lip wobbles)
• Have a swagger about you that is going to get you noticed one day (in a good way!)
• Love to 'pretend', to the point where you can spend all day in character, and we're not allowed to call you by your real name
• Love to help me bake, especially when you get to lick the spoon at the end!
• Don't eat many vegetables but your favourite fruits are peaches and strawberries
• Love jacket potatoes, beans and cheese
• Still fight and argue with your big brother, but you also think he's the greatest.
• Have a soft spot for all your aunties and can charm the socks off them!
• Are the most adorable little boy in the world - and I'm so glad you are my little boy. You make me happy every single day xx
