Turning Five

Oh, the happiness of turning five.  Aaron had a cake, his first soccer practice, and a party-to-come on Sunday.  At his new Montesorri school yesterday, he got to go around the sun five times in honor of his birthday and pass out little sheets of Thomas the Train stickers to his classmates.

Along with Aaron's "big" present, I got combination locks for both kids.  A blue one for Aaron and a purple one for Nora.  I know they've both got some frustration to get through with them, but Aaron so admired the combination locks at the Y this summer.

How heart-warming to hear Aaron say yesterday, "I love Nora, she's nice to me."  They're both growing up.
