Kayson - 5 1/2 Years Old

Our kid is officially 5 1/2.  We've been saying he's 5 1/2 for months!  It's funny. 
  • Clothes - buying 'big boy' clothes - so no more 5T stuff (specifically tops).  He's got a long torso.  Along with that long torso, he's got long, skinny legs.  Shorts are typically XSm or 4/5.  
  • Shoes - size 12.
  • He loves to be outside... loves baseball...  loves the iPad... loves to play with us (doesn't matter what it is)...  loves to sit with us, and 'cuddle'... loves his sister, even though she drives him crazy at the same time.  
  • Talks all the time.  (This is something that will probably never go away from my 'yearly lists')
  • His blue eyes are beautiful.  I love them.
  • I have no idea on weight or height, but I swear he gets taller every week.  
  • He can read words...  and at least tries to sound them out.  It's amazing to me how hard it is to really learn how to read...  but completely intrigued by how he learns and is being taught.  I'm pretty proud.
  • He loves LEGOs - like the 3 in 1 type little cars, etc.  He follows the directions perfectly.  
  • He's not very aggressive.  (We sometimes call him a wuss!)  Bad parenting?!?!
  • Hates to have his toenails cut.  He's ticklish!  :)
  • He still has training wheels on his bike.
  • He's a great sleeper.  We've cut out naps, unless it's needed (busy morning/busy planned evening... those types of things).  He rarely fights us if we require a nap.  He'll typically sleep a good 2 hours.  And bedtime - he sleeps great.  Sleeps so hard that he still wears a diaper, as he's soaking diapers.  :(  (this is definitely something we are 'worried' about, but also know that he's such a hard sleeper... it's common.)
  • Loves fruit.
  • He's a routine kid.  He knows when something is 'off', he has a hard time sleeping at other places, and he enjoys the routine we've created. 
  • He whines a lot when he's tired.  Talks back too.
  • We are told he's a good kid at school.  (Which I have no doubt).
