Happy Birthday to Cars! (also SoF Day 33)

Cars is 5 years old today. I really cannot believe that it has been 5 years since he was born. He is such a big boy. He can write his name, read a few words, loves to draw, sing and play the drums in Rock Band (he still needs help with the foot pedal though). His favourite things in life are Star Wars and Indiana Jones action figures. He picks up every stick he finds and pretends it is a light sabre and he loves to wear the brown felt fedora around the house. He loves his brothers, his Sophie, his friends Col and Kins and cheese sticks.

He was impatient with me today when I started telling him about when he was a baby. He asked me to "Please stopping talking about babies!". It is funny because the other two love to listen to stories about what they were like when they were much younger and to their baby stories. Maybe Cars is still too close to babyhood? *sigh*

For his birthday today, he insisted that we go to the "fast-food Mexican place" (Acapulco Fresh) and for a Lazy Daisy cake. He decided that we were going swimming today at the club and since he was now 5, he could swim a length of the pool (with his floatie, but still a long way).

Here are some photos from today:
