Sam is 5!!

I don't even know where to begin. I really can't believe my little Sam is 5 years old (and going to Kindergarten in the fall!) He is still so little to me.  

Some facts about Sam at 5:

*He is still very affectionate. He loves to give loves and kisses. 

*He loves to tease, especially his older sister.  He loves to play little games or tricks on people.

*He is such a daddy's boy. If Chad is home Sam is usually found right by his side.  He'll be out in the woods with Chad for hours "helping" his daddy work.

*He is so ready to go to school. I think he's just tired of being at home all day with Annie and I.

*He's not a big eater anymore. Unless it's Scholtsky's. Then he can down a whole sandwhich within a matter of minutes.

*He is a good big brother, although he thinks he can play rough with Annie who doesn't really appreciate is most of the time.

* He loves anything to do with fast cars (hmmmm...wonder where he got that from?)

*Whenever he sees a cool car he is sure to point it out to me.

*He still likes to follow Carly around when she gets home from school. 

*He is coming into the phase where when he gets angry or upset he turns to hitting or kicking. I suppose that is just a boy thing?? Hopefully it won't last (or am I just kidding myself?)

*We didn't really go through a terrible two or three phase with this kid.  It seems to be that we will get a frightening five stage?? hopefully not!

*He whistles in his sleep some nights.

*Every morning before he gets dressed he usually asks if it will be "hot or cold" and then sometimes he'll have to run outside to check.

I kind of want to cry thinking of how fast time is going. Wasn't Carly just 5?? I couldn't decide which pictures to post so I just posted a ton. Enjoy Sam and all his cuteness! We sure love this kid, although he knows how to push buttons and makes us want to pull our hair out. I just can't imagine my life without this little boy of mine!
