Brody is 5

It is hard to believe that Brody is 5. He is such a joy to have in our family. A special on my middle child. Brody is my sweetheart. Whenever I come home or get up in the morning. He is the first to run up and give me a hug and kiss. He is very sensitive to others feelings, but also very sensitive with his own. Which leads to him crying more when his feelings are hurt. But he is always willing to give his brother and sister things that they want. He is willing to buy his brother toys with his birthday money or share treats. Brody is very smart for his age, but doesn't like homework. He can read and write his name beautifully. His kindergarten teacher in 6 months will be very pleased. He is easy to please, I can buy him anything for his present and he thinks it is "The Best Day Ever!" He loves to eat and looks so happy doing so. He is also a little bull in the china closet not knowing his own strength and many times knocking people over. He has some great friends his age that he likes to play with Benji and Eli. I love his outlook on life.

 We let the kids pick a place to eat for dinner. Brody first picked McDonald's, then he changed his mind and picked Chick-Fil-A for lunch and dinner. However, when we got there for lunch he said that it wasn't the place he was talking about. After him getting frustrated at me for not being able to read his mind. I figured out he wanted Peter Piper Pizza from his clues of it has money, and tickets, prizes, and a red and blue slide.

 Grandma and Grandpa came after me telling them 3 different places that he wanted to go.

 He opened his Hot Wheels Track from mom and dad.

 He got money from Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma made a card with Brody face on it. He keep saying "I have this costume" and didn't realize the picture was of him. He went to the store and picked some toys.

 Grammy and Grandad sent Brody a toy. They asked for suggestions and Bleblades was something Brody said he wanted. Along with a new real puppy and art stuff. Grammy pick Bleblades, so glad it wasn't a puppy. Brody LOVED the gift they stayed up late his birthday playing.

He also got card and money from Bean and John they are always so sweet to send things. He also got cards from his cousins and treats, which he ate for breakfast. Aunt Becky called and Grammy called and he only talked for a min then he had things to do. He isn't my phone talker.

Brody also wanted a friend party, something I usually don't do. But I did let him pick two friends to take to Lunch at Chick-Fil-A, which has a play area. I totally forgot to take pictures. His friend Benji gave him a spiderman costume and they were both so excited because when they play together they can both wear there spiderman costumes. Eli gave him wood 3-D puzzles and bubble wand. I decided to steal pictures of their mom's blog so I can have in his journal. Benji is on the top and Eli on the bottom :)
