My "baby" boy turned 5 years old today. We probably won't be having any more children, so each year older he turns makes me a little sadder. :( It's hard to believe it has been 5 years already.
Here is a little question session I did with him the other day so I could look back on this and remember what he was like at this age.

Last night I blew up a bunch of balloons and put them in Logan's bed, so he woke up to a little surprise. :)
We've been doing the "elf on the shelf" with the boys this year and I thought it would be cute if our elf, Ginger, left Logan a little something for his birthday. Ginger brought him a coloring activity book, a puzzle, and a cupcake.
This morning we took Logan out to IHOP for a birthday breakfast. They sent him a coupon for a free Rooty Jr breakfast. It came with an egg, piece of sausage, piece of bacon, and two pancakes topped with real strawberries and strawberry sauce (which he added blueberry syrup to! geez lol). He absolutely loved it and ate every bit of it, minus a bite or two of pancakes.
Just as Logan was finishing up with his food, we all of a sudden heard a bunch of people clapping. The next thing we know, all of the employees are heading toward our table. They stopped and did the little "Happy Birthday" chant. Logan was so embarrassed and was trying to hide from them. Poor thing. He recovered quickly though because right after the birthday chant, they gave him this huge cup of ice cream. He was all about that. ;)
After that we took him to Toys R Us so he could get his crown and balloon. They sent him a $3 gift card, so I let him pick out a cheap toy to use it on and just paid the difference. Logan has had his eye on a little stuffed Sonic for a while now so that is what he ended up getting.
Logan is pretty happy with the little goodies and fun things he got to do today. We will be having his party on Saturday.
