Evan Turns FIVE!

Through pure coincidence, Evan celebrated his birthday in Florida during our recent trip to Disney and Universal Studios!  What a special way to turn FIVE!  On his actual birthday, we spent the day at Wet & Wild and when we got back we made some burgers and dogs on the grill.  All day he asked about a cake.  "It is my birthday and I'm supposed to have cake..." is all I heard all day.

We didn't tell him that we had already picked up an ice cream cake that morning and hid it in the freezer.  The look on his face in the picture below says it all!  He was so excited when we started to sing and he saw his cake!

A birthday cake surprise!

Best. Birthday. Ever!

Make a wish!

What a cake!

The cherry was his favorite part!

He got his birthday cake in Florida, but never had the chance to choose his special birthday meal.  So when we got back home he asked to have breakfast and he asked if he could have the waffle with ice cream!  The waitstaff even put a candle on top and came to sing to him.  It was really nice!

Birthday Boy!

Today Evan had his well check!  He is growing like a weed.  He is in the 90+ percentile for height and weight.  People always forget that up until recently he was only four!  He is mistaken for a kindergartner a lot when we are at the school.  It also has to do with how well spoken he is for his age.  He always has been.  He's still a man of the people and I worry that he'll run off with a stranger every time we are out.  I have really had to tell him that he should never go anywhere without telling me, even if he knows the person.  He's stubborn and opinionated and a born leader.  I cannot wait to see him next fall when he starts Kindergarten.  

So tall!

Perfect vision (for now!)

Checking out the equipment and asking lots of questions!
