The Hulk turns 5.

F I V E

A whole hand! Five years old. Going to Kindergarten. Obsessed with Transformers. Favorite present: BotBots. Chose Olive Garden for your birthday dinner- ate pizza and fries. Content playing solo or running around with the neighborhood boys. You have mastered swimming lessons (roll, chicken/airplane/soldier). I love that you still come in and snuggle in the mornings. You love baths, getting dirty and candy. 

You are the best listener and most days have the cleanest room out of any of the kids. I also love that you still call Kingston and Mckinley collectively, "the kids". You are kind and tender and sometimes still let me snuggle and smooch you during the day. You go to bed and instantly fall asleep with all your stuffed animal friends and toys crammed in tight next to you. 

It's going to be a little hard sending you off to school every day. Just glad that we still get to spend our mornings together and have our lunches at Firehouse Subs.

We love you huge, Lorenzo Niels.
