My baby is 5

Okay, so the 5th birthday was a really big deal for me. I have been really sad about this birthday for quite awhile...I am not sure why...but I think 5 just represents such a grown up age since it is the age that kids start Kindergarten, and my baby will be going to Kindergarten in the fall. It is hard for me to believe that 5 years ago on a very early Sunday morning my water broke at home and 12 hours later Zachary was here. He was our first baby, the first grandbaby for BOTH sides, and out of most of my friends he was their 1st baby too. Needless to say, he has been "babied" much of his little life. However, big baby or not, I am so proud of him. He is smart, well behaved, sweet, but most of all, he is the child that loves to help others and I love that about him.

oh, and for all the mom's out there that hate Chuck-e-cheese.. Just get the party over with. The kids love it, and you don't have to clean up after.
