Hayden Turns 5

My big boy had a birthday on Sunday.  We has been waiting for his birthday for a LONG time.  He is the last birthday in the calendar year of the 3 kids, so he has been especially anxious the last couple of months. 

Conference was this weekend, so we were at Grandma Jensen's house for the party.  Hayden requested breakfast burritos and a cake from Grandma Jensen.  Cousin Karston's birthday is the day before so they celebrated together.

Thoughts on Hayden at 5:

• LOVES Legos.  It is pretty much all he asks for, and the toy that dominates his play time.
• Thrives when you acknowledge the good he does
• Is a great eater.  I can convince him to eat nearly anything.
• Is turning into our funny man
• Constantly in "deep thinking mode" about something
• Remembers everything.  He randomly brings up things about when he was 2 or 3 with great detail and accuracy. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

The kids went to the doctor together for their yearly well-child checks.  Both 90-95% for height and 50-75% for weight.  I notice frequently how their bodies are becoming more lean and long.
