Ty- 5 years old

Ty is 5 years old today!

Ty . . .

is our loudest child!  He has random outbursts and yells at home all the time.  I am constantly telling him to lower his volume.

is very generous and always has been.  He is always willing to share and usually offers whatever he has.

likes to bang on things.  He plays with his drums a lot, but will also bang on the couch, his brothers, me, countertops, etc.

prefers salty over sweet.  He'll choose chips over a cookie every time.

is reading at school and loves it!  He is always very proud to come home and show me what he has learned.  I love hearing him read.  Sometimes Ty and AJ will practice sight words together.

has recently been concerned with his appearance.  He liked to gel his hair and wear ties to look nice.  Sometimes he'll wear a tie with a sweatshirt.

loves to play games.  He'll ask to play Trouble and Uno when he is bored.  He'd rather play with someone than by himself.

plays with both his brothers very well.  He can be silly and wild with Mark and more serious and grown up with AJ.

can be very sensitive at times.  He gets his feelings hurt more than his brothers.

loves to color and does a great job of staying in the lines.

is very tall for his age.

can be such a rebel sometimes, doing exactly what he's not supposed to or playing a game the wrong way, etc.

has completely given up his nap.

wears size 5 pants, 5/6 or small shirts, and size 13 shoe.

Since the boys were out of school, we went to Dadda's work and all went to Waffle House to eat lunch.  It was Ty's request and he had a waffle and bacon.  He is so excited about his party on Saturday.

Ty is such a blessing and he keeps me on my toes.  I love his sweet smile and am so happy to be his mom!
