Yes, it's true. Micah turn 5 yesterday. I didn't think that it would affect me but I sure got nostalgic yesterday. I didn't cry but I had a strange reaction. I can't really describe how I felt. It was like I coudn't believe that my baby Micah turned 5! He's not in the Sunbeams anymore and he is going to start kindergarten this fall! Where have the last five years gone??? Where is my baby? Now, I'm wondering how I will react when he starts kindergarten? I didn't think that it would affect me. But now I'm not so sure. He his definitely a big boy now.
We surprised him with a tool bench. He wanted one from Christmas but we had already bought all of his presents when he told Santa that is what he wanted. So, we got it for his birthday. Funny story....at his preschool they send home a diary of what the kids have done during the month. In December when we got his diary, it said that he wanted a "tube inch" for Christmas. His teacher obviously couldn't understand him. It took me a minute to figure out he must have said "tool bench." Anyway, we put the tool bench together and then snuck it into his bedroom while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up and see he finally had his tool bench. ( I have video of him playing with his tool bench but I can't get it to upload. I'll keep trying.)
Later that day we took Micah and two of his friends to the Fun Park. (The Fun Park is like Chuck E. Cheese but not as nice. It's all we have in Cache Valley.) Thomas is his friend from school and stands about a head taller than Micah. Tayton is his friend from church. Tayton's mom is who watches Micah and Ellie while I go volunteer at LDS Family Services. They had so much fun!! After the Fun Park we came back to the house for pizza, cupcakes, and ice cream. Then the boys played superheroes until their parents came to pick them up.
That night when I was putting Micah to bed, he didn't want me to leave. (Here I am getting sappy again!) He asked me to sing to him. So I laid next to him in his bed and sang him a couple of songs. He told me he loved my beautiful voice. I just about cried! We then talked about the day and how much fun it was. I then told him some stories about him when he was still in my belly and how after he was born he liked to sleep on my chest. It was such a special moment.

I am a sap myself and had an extremely hard time when Austin went to Kindergarten. I completely understand!
Wow, I can't believe he is that old! He can't be old enough to go to school...oh wait, Ethan will be 5 soon and HE will be going to school. They are growing up! (sniff, sniff)
