A Few Faves of my Birthday Dude!

In honour of my little guy's birthday, I thought I would share a few favourite LOs featuring the dude himself!

I made this LO last year just as Evan turned six, as I was sad to see him leave five behind. Journaling says: Evan, five is such a perfect age for you. Old enough to love Star Wars, but still young enough to snuggle with your sisters and watch Treehouse TV. Big enough to want to look “cool”, but still small enough to want Mommy to kiss your boo-boos better. You want to go fast on your bike, but still need the training wheels. You want to cut your own pancakes and pour your own syrup, but still want your milk in a sippy cup. And you love sleeping in the tent with Daddy, but not without your Ted and Blankie. I would love to freeze time now, and keep you here forever, my sweet five year old boy. Or at least slow time down. I know I can’t. I need to let you grow up. And away. But I can still savour this moment. This boy. My Evan. A fine five.

Learning to play cricket at my uncle's cottage last summer and having a bit of a hard time sharing the spotlight with his cousins! Master of the Pout, journaling at the bottom says: Still a lot to learn about taking turns. Summer 2006.

Ever the jokester, this guy is great at quick comebacks for his age! Check out this one! Quick Wit. Question: Evan, would you like to try some fish? It's very good for your brain. Answer: No thank you, Mom. I already have a good brain!










Happy Birthday, Dude!
