Our little Kieron turned five this Cinco de Mayo. I can’t believe he’s graduating from pre-k this year and will move on to elementary school. I wish he would slow down!

At five, Kieron is such a sweetie pie, and very sensitive and emotional. He is sharp, witty, has a healthy sense of humor, and likes to get silly. He loves the color pink, having his toenails painted, playing with trucks and in the mud, and enjoys playing Legos and going hiking. He is his big brother’s right-hand man, and is into anything Avery is into. He has a freakishly good memory, an extensive vocabulary, and loves to listen to stories.

A picky eater since birth, Kieron really turned a corner in the food department this year. He added rice, chicken, steak, some fish, celery, yellow peppers, and lots of salad to his menu this year (and those are just the things I can think of off the top of my head)! Not that he was ever small to begin with, but it is no surprise that he came in at 90% for both height and weight at the doctor’s office. (That’s 45.25″ tall and 48.5 lbs).

We celebrated Kieron’s birthday with a party at our local bounce house, and invited a few of his nearest and dearest friends from the neighborhood and school. Everyone had a terrific time, and the boys all had red faces and sweaty hair by the end of the party. I’d say it was a success!

Here he is on his last night as a four-year-old

Baking cupcakes!

Cupcake time – Kieron wasn’t so comfortable being the center of attention
