Tyson is 5!!!!!

My baby turns 5 today.  It is bittersweet....on the one hand we don't have to use car seats any longer, but on the other, my baby isn't a baby anymore.  *sniff*

Tyson wanted an R2-D2 cake like I made Taylor.  However, I didn't want to copy, so instead I carved a clone helmet.  At first he wanted to see R2, but when I showed him this, he was VERY excited!  

 We had Grandma and Grandpa over for dinner, then some of the rest of the family came for cake and ice cream.  Tyson surprised me and actually talked a little in this group setting...it's getting easier for him to communicate.  (yay!)

 Our little Pyromaniac couldn't wait for the fire, so he got very excited when Troy started lighting the candles.  He got so excited that he kept blowing them out before we could sing!  Finally, Troy got them all lit.  :)

Getting ready to blow...he held this pose for the whole song....goofy kid.  :)

 FINALLY, he gets to blow out the fire.  He got them all.....yay Tyson!

Mr. Tyson is getting so big.  He is talking better, he likes school (though he doesn't like getting up early), and he loves to play with toys and Legos.  His imagination amazes me and he loves to kiss and cuddle.  There has been more than once that he surprised me in church with a big wet one on the lips.  Video games, moves, and the Clone Wars show are also favorites.  The funniest thing about Tyson is that he has taken some of the personalities that he sees the older kids exhibit and has made them part of his own.  To hear a 5 year old say and do some of the things he does is hilarious and he keeps us laughing.  We love him so much!

Happy Birthday Tyson!!!!!!!
