Five and a Half!

As of today, James is officially closer to six than five. Crazy. 
We had a celebratory dessert-- half a cake for a half birthday. 
What's a five and a half year old like? Well, this one looooves to read (and to be read to; he and Daddy are working through the Chronicles of Narnia now). He also likes building with Legos, Magna-tiles, and zoobs (often he'll combine materials and structures). He's big into imagination; his current favorite alter-egos are bats and robots. He likes riding his bike (no more training wheels!) and scooter outside as well as playing with our neighbor, Henry. He's still a picky eater, but he grew over two inches in the last six months, so the doctor is no longer concerned about his height. 
He's hilarious and clever (that's one of his favorite words lately, by the way), and he makes us so proud.
