How to grow your own five year old

[gfrancie]

First you start off with a baby.

You feed and water. Take them out for walks, let them play in the mud, read a million and one stories, give them a cookie or three, get up with them in the middle of the night, cuddle, (very important) talk to them, have them talk to you, tell them you love them a lot, and eventually...


You get this.

Happy Birthday Senor Onion.

Happy birthday to Senor Onion, and congratulations to you. You're an awesome mom, from what I can tell through here.

Happy Birthday, Senor!

I love that he wanted a RED party for his birthday.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

All red. All the time. I think he wants to paint his bedroom red as well.

he looks wonderful on his new bike.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It is a teeny tiny bit big for him but he will grow fast. He does love it.

Oh, my gosh, he's five already?! How did that happen?! Happy birthday, Senor Onion!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! It is a surprise all around. Minding your own business and look he turns five on you.

Congratulations on Turning Five, Kid!

Awwww! Happy birthday, Senor Onion! Five is a fabulous age.

Five years. Yikes! This is the year that I am realising that a lot of my friends now have kids around the 5/6/7 age mark. When did that happen??! It really doesn't seem that long ago that they were little babies who were coming to visit me and Momo. And now they're practically moving to college!
*gets dramatic!*

Happy Birthday, Senor Onion!

I bet you're glad now you didn't sell him to the gypsies. ;-)

He still has the same look on his face when he sleeps. As does Miss Biscuit.
