the BIG 5!

we've been counting down since christmas.
don't ever tell your 4 year old that after christmas, it's your birthday! :)
finally, the end of january, i showed him a calendar and "tried" to explain how it works.
i think at least once a week (that doesn't seem like often, but it was) he would ask if we could turn the page.
well, the big day has come and gone, and now he is talking about his 6th birthday
and "when are my teeth going to fall out?"
"if i don't brush my teeth, will they fall out?" :)
and "when do i get to go to school?"... "what's the Fall?"
this birthday was all about BATMAN and a "Police Officer"
he wants to be one when he grows up!
so we gave him some police officer attire (amidst the batman shirt)
and went for a ride in a police car!
my mom said, "they aren't going to let you ride in the car..."
look mom!
front seat.
no car seat.
i was shocked.
this is brackon turning on the sirens and lights.
then the officer gased it.
no kidding.
as we cruised the back streets
"pulled over" about 5 cars
i was tense.
2 boys not in car seats
it was a moment we won't forget!

what an awesome officer.
it made brackon's day.
back to BATMAN...
brackon wore this shirt for about 3 weeks straight.
i think i washed it ONCE.
he is very "clean"... cooper touched him with peanut butter
and you would have thought brack lost his arm
he started crying and threw himself on the floor!!!!

we got him the Trio Batman...
it's great cuz he can take it apart and build different bat caves
he likes to play in the dark.

brack said, mom "how come there aren't any superheroes in our day"
i got a little spiritual on him :)
and then he said, "i want to be the first super hero!"

we got him some batman pj's.
he spilt water on them
another melt down!
oh my!!!!

it's great to be 5!
brackon is such a great helper.
a rule follower
and if there is someone not following the rules, i hear about it.

he recently used a post-it note to make a sign for his room...
guess what it said?... "No Smoking" :)

he is a PLANNER, like his mother (dusty says)
each night before bed he asks what we are doing tomorrow.

when brack goes to sleep, he tells me how much he loves me...
i love you more than... the moon, the trucks, pepper, my bed, etc. (waiting for him to say "batman") :)
i love you little brack, more than words can explain!!!!
