These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things!

I am a list maker by nature.

I have lists scattered all across the house. Everywhere. And some are the same exact lists, just re-written for whatever reason.

I've been making some lists in my journal just of anything and everything that is about my life today. I think it will be neat to read back in a few years to see what I was like and what was going in my life.

Keeping up with the First Born Appreciation Week (you can read my post on my other blog about him here - which is also a list!), here is a list about Sean:




Favorite Things About Sean

10. He is my oldest, my first born, my first baby. I experienced everything with him first. I will always love him the longest.

9. He's very inquisitive. He loves to ask questions and he loves to learn. I love this about him, but oh man is it hard to keep patience when you're asked 100 times in 5 minutes why you have to wash clothes. Or why we eat dinner. Or why Lauren has to have a bottle. Why, why, why!

8. He never lets me forget anything. Never. When he was three he wanted a piece of gum. I told him he could chew gum when he turned 5 years old. For 2 years, every single day, I heard "I can chew gum when I'm five". Seriously.

7. He always gives me the perfect smile for pictures. Always.

6. He is the best big brother ever. You've heard me say it on here before. He loves his little brother and sister. Ignore the tormenting and torturing and he really is the best big brother.

5. He is so cool. He really is the coolest little kid I know.

4. He is very creative. Always building something different with blocks, making up games to play with things like tissue paper and old gift cards, and drawing and coloring. He uses his imagination.

3. He has a lot of excitement. He gets really excited about the smallest things. I love it.

2. He gives the best bear hugs and eskimo kisses around.

1. He is just Sean. The one and only, the best that he can be, my little man, Sean....

"But I AM Good!"


Sean: Daddy, I want to be pitcher!



Daddy: Ok, then you have to be really good to be a pitcher!

Sean: I will be good! I am always good, daddy!



Daddy: No, Sean, that's not what I'm talking about! You have to keep practicing and get good at pitching!



Sean: Ok, I will!




Batter Up!




The cheerleader cheers on the game!

T-Ball Practice in Sean's Own Words


ME: How did T-ball practice go?
SEAN: Fine.
ME: What did you do?
SEAN: Nothing, just hit and catch balls.
ME: Did you like it?
SEAN: (head nodding)
ME: Do you like your team mates?
SEAN: (head nodding)

Sean Michael, Today You Are 5 Years Old!!!


* You weigh 48.2 pounds and are 44 1/2 inches tall.

* You are wearing size 5 or 6 shirts, size 5 jeans, and size 13 shoes.

* You are a very picky eater and it is hard to get you to try new things! You are just like your daddy! Your favorites are refried beans and rice, grilled cheese, and hot dogs. The only fruit that you like is bananas. And shhh... I always hide vegetables in your dinners. As long as you don't see them, you eat them!

* You are so into super heroes and transformers right now. Your favorite cartoons are super hero cartoons (Batman, Spiderman, Justice League, etc.)

* You don't take naps at all anymore. You wake up between 6am and 7am and go strong all day until bed time at 8pm. Sometimes you don't even go to sleep then and stay awake in bed and play with Nate for a couple of extra hours.



* We still call you Bull Man! Your Papa JC gave you this nickname when you were about 9 months old and it has stuck ever since! (Although, when you were a tiny baby I called you my little love bug but daddy said I had to quit that because it wasn't a nick name that could go on a jersey!)

* You are such a bright little boy, always full of excitement. You are ready to go at any minute. You get so happy and excited over the tiniest things. I hope you never lose that.

* You ask a million questions. Over and over and over. Constantly. Throughout the day. Why? When? How? What?

* You talk so well and we can have long conversations with you. You are so awesome.

* You are the best big brother to Nathan and Lauren. You are so sweet and gentle with them. You love them so much. It makes my heart swell when I see you with them. They adore you.



* You can still be pretty shy. When I took a cookie cake to school to sing you "Happy Birthday" you were would not even look at me; you just looked at the table. At your party yesterday when we sang to you, you hid under the table!


* You played your first sport this fall: soccer. You were #23. You loved it and you did so good. Daddy and I are so proud of you for trying and going out there and doing your best.




* You still have monkey. And you still sleep with him.


* Sean, these past 5 years have gone by way too fast. I can still remember seeing you for the first time. It doesn't feel that long ago! Let's take the next 5 years a little slower, please. I love you.
(This the first time I saw and got to hold Sean, on November 24, 2004, 12 hours after he was born.)
