Happy Birthday, James!!

Today is James' fifth birthday. I can hardly believe its been five years already. Crazy! Since today we are celebrating James, here is a list of 10 things I love about James:

• How his cheeks go up and his eyes turn into little crescents when he has a big smile
• When he is so happy riding his bike that he giggles as he weaves back and forth on the sidewalk
• How he is so serious about his interests, primarily his interest in farming (he means business!)
• How he runs around the house in his skivvies and his skinny little legs hopping all over playing his air guitar
• How he can sing all four verses of Amazing Grace with me
• When he picks me flowers while we go on a walk
• How he tells me he really, really, really loves me
• When he looks at Tyler with such a tender little look in his eye and says 'Tyler's so cute, Mom, I just love him.' (Funny, he never says that about Katie...ha! They are too busy fighting with each other)
• His developing sense of humor
• How protective he is of Katie when we go places
• How he loves to ask questions and learn
  
• When he comes up to me, so excited, and says (and this is a regular occurance) 'Look, Mom, I found a present for you. Its a really smooth stone! (I have a lot of really smooth stones in my collection.
• How, when I ask him how he is going to accomplish one of his lofty goals, replies 'With my ninja skills!'
  

Did I say 10 things? Well, I got a little carried away. Happy Birthday, James!!
