- has an uncanny way to make his brother stop crying and laugh at any moment
- has the biggest heart out of anyone I know
- still loves to be carried whenever possible (especially down the stairs every morning)
- getting more and more bossy and I actually kind of like it (he's always been such a "follower" and not much of a "leader" - its nice to see him as more of a "leader" even if it is sort of bossy)
- loves soccer and anything to do with soccer
- still not a big TV watcher and I really like that

- still turns his attitude around instantly if I threaten to call Santa for mis-behaving (no matter what time of  year it is)
- has started to voice on more than one occasion that he HATES diabetes and I tell him that it is ok and its the only thing in life (right now anyway) that I will allow him to say he hates (not normally a word I tolerate)
- has been caught using the words "suck" and "friggin" (thank you fellow preschoolers for that one) and gets in trouble every time
- started Sunday School this year and absolutely loves it - I need to get better about learning how to answer all of the questions he has regarding God and Jesus...

- can write all of his letters upper and lower case
- getting better at sounding out all of the letters and even a word here and there
- loves doing any kind of art
- favorite foods consist of: pancakes, waffles, pepperoni pizza (must be pepperoni), mac & cheese, cheeseburgers (especially if they come in a Happy Meal), grilled cheese and chicken nuggets - probably your typical 5 year old diet.

- really starting to form his own opinions about things and doesn't have a problem voicing them
- LOVES school (preschool) and cannot wait for Kindergarten (although, I can)
