Some other things Mac...

--He can write almost any number or letter on his own. You tell him which one and he can write it.
---He really does LOVE Malt O Meal (It's my favorite too). When I make it, he will ask me if he can finish my bowl off before either one of us is done eating. It makes me laugh every time.
---When he wants to tell us something he wants to do he will tell us and say "That's my deal".
---He takes his dishes to the sink without being asked.
---He loves all of his blankets and needs all 6 of them when he goes to bed. And he still chews on them when he is tired.
---He is a walking Encyclopedia. He will spout off random facts that he has learned all the time.
---He has the best memory. He seriously NEVER forgets anything.
---He can clean his room (when willing) with out much guidance now.
---He is really loves to rhyme or sound out the first letter to words.
---He loves to read and there is a constant pile of books on his nightstand, all over the floor by his bed and in his bed.
---He really likes doing mazes and is pretty good at them.
---He loves to wear hats, and when it is sunny he wants to wear his baseball cap to keep "to keep the sun out of my eyes and so I don't get sunburned".
---He loves Preschool.
---He hates church.
---His favorite word to say when he is mad is "stupid".
---Lately his behavior has consisted of getting mad when he doesn't get his way, and when he gets mad he gets mean, and then he purposely does things he knows he shouldn't. He does it all to get a reaction, and I have to try my very best to ignore it all, which is H.A.R.D.
---He can be the sweetest, loving little guy in between all those other moments.
---He is very inquisitive and wants to know the Who, What, When, Where and Why of everything.
---Shopping for his birthday and Christmas have been hard because he isn't really "into" anything right now. If we would let him he would be into Star Wars or Transformers or Harry Potter. But we feel he is a little young for those things still.
---His favorite toys are always the Happy Meal toys.
---He is obsessed with Dilly bars.
---He likes to help cook.
---He is still a terribly picky eater.
---He is really funny.
---He is really good at role playing if he can be the one in charge.
---In groups setting he wants to be the leader. (Hope we can teach him to be a good leader)
---He loves to play with older kids.

I agree on the word girl thing, can't stand it either. Aaron hates church too, and that's hard for me. It's a struggle every Sunday. It's so fun to see him growing up. Happy Birthday!!

So glad he came into your arms to love and hold so many years ago! He is darling, my kids are still talking about him. Josie is quite fond of McCoy!
