Bowen: 5 years old + birthday

He is currently 37 pounds. 

He only naps every now and then, but has rest time in his room each day. He's quiet and still on his bed for an hour and then can play in his room for an hour. 

He loves to play outside with the neighbors and his bros. 

He's awesome on his bike and scooter and flies around the cul-de-sac. 

He loves one-on-one time with Chad and I. He is like a completely different kid when we have him by himself! It's crazy!

He has certain people (who he loves SO much) that he gets so excited to be around that it's like he loses control and common sense. It's like he's so excited he can't contain himself. It is intense to parent him in these situations and take lots of reminders to show self control and calm down. 

Nana and Papa came and spent the weekend before his birthday and we celebrated Bowen and Papa and had dinner at PF Changs. For his party this year, we celebrated with friends here in Charlotte and BOjangles :) Then the next morning, Chad and I left for a conference and my Mom came and spent 2 days with the boys. She spent Bowen's birthday morning (and afternoon) at the aquarium and a CFA lunch, and then Chad and I got back in the afternoon for his birthday dinner and cookie cake he made with Nona. He felt so very loved!
 
They even got to go "backstage" to see the big tanks...

and a few pics from the last few months of being four :)
