Happy 5th Birthday to my boy who made me a mommy! This boy is still as shy as ever, not sure that it will ever change. He is a stubborn boy and wise beyond his years, but he’s a mama’s boy and I secretly hope that never changes.
He’s never been so excited to turn any age, but apparently 5 is special because he is so excited to be 5!

You are very quiet and reserved. I’ve definitely labeled you as an introvert like your mama. Your teachers say that you’re so shy and don’t talk when you first get to class, but once you warm up you talk non-stop. You’ve been asking to play soccer, but I’m a little hesitant because you tend to freeze up when you get in front of crowds. You are at that age now when you are testing your limits, so we try to stay firm to what we say when those times come. It’s definitely the most challenging part of you turning 5.

You’re a smart kiddo. You can recognize most letters in the alphabet and numbers. We’re still working on recognizing letters and their sounds. You are also learning basic math. You impress me daily with how intelligent you are.

STILL the pickiest ever. I’m not sure that will ever change. I’ll blame it on your father since he’s the same way.

About 5 months ago, we packed your toddler bed and dresser away and you got a big boy bedroom suite. Your room is now a nautical theme. You still love your time in your mama and daddy’s bed and if we let you, you would sleep with us every night. If you sleep in your bed, you still want me to lay in bed with you while you fall asleep. You still have an occasional nap at school but most days you come home grumpy and tired because you didn’t nap.

I can officially say that you are completely out of pull-ups at night. I think you probably could have done it sooner, but it was more of an inconvenience to me if you would have peed at night. I mean who wants to change the bed?! We bit the bullet and you’re doing great.

I’ve said it before, but we love watching you grow into the amazing boy God intended for you to be. I pray that you always know how much you are loved. You are heart, our love, our life, our forever baby boy (even though you said we cannot call you a “baby” when you turn 5).
Happy Birthday, Mason Grey!
