5 years ago today...

5 days late... after 1 1/2 hours of labour ... I became mommy to the most wonderful boy in the world.
He has the sweetest heart and gives the sweetest bedtime kisses ever.
His idol is his big sister who he adores and looks up to and also loves to torture .. he knows just how to push her buttons.
He loves to make people laugh (especially the ladies).
He has the most amazing facial expressions and tells a story with incredible gusto.
He can deliver a one-liner like no one I've ever known.
He love bugs and digging in the garden.
His favourite pass time is playmobil.. he can get lost in his room for hours playing with his castle..it's a dream come true for me because I also share his addiction..LOL.
He LOVES preschool, and his teacher carol...but is so excited about kindergarten next year.
He knows how to rock out and plays a wicked air guitar in the back of the car on the way to preschool every morning.
Myrah is his best friend...he only has eyes for her and is so unhappy at preschool unless she is there.
When he grows up he wants to be a "gentleman" so he can marry her.. he also wants to be a police man, a pirate and a knight.

I just can't believe he's 5.

This was taken just hours after he was born.. when he met his sister for the first time..


And when he was a year old.. on mother's day...


And when he was three.. hanging out with me on a fall day...


And most recently during spring break .. he is my knight in shining armour..

We celebrated his birth with his favourite dinner -- waffles with strawberries, blueberries and whipping cream...and bacon of course. He cleaned his plate.

Happy birthday my sweet boy. I love you with my whole heart.
