Can you see his excitement! Our David is 5. His birthday is right before Christmas. He is such a bundle of fun. We gave him the kinect Xbox game-Star Wars and this was his reaction. Funny thing about this is that he was very excited to get it, but didn't want to play it. He just wanted to watch his brothers play. He was completely content just watching.
What can I say about David? I'd say that 95% of the time he is the happiest, sweetest boy. The other 5% of the time he is stubborn and let's just say don't tick him off. You could say he kind of has a temper . . . don't know where he got that from? :) ummm. . . no comment. He is by far the toughest 5 year old I have ever known. Is not afraid of anyone and will just take care of them if they tick him off. I have a feeling I will be in the principles office more than once with this kid once real school begins. Just ask Lucas and he'll tell you that David has a great right hook. I always feel bad for Micah and Lucas. They hold back for the most part and show some restraint.
Because David is so small people would never think that he is so tough. He is probably the most athletic 5 year old I've ever seen as well. He is super fast and coordinated. He loves soccer and can play for hours if he has the chance.
Other loves include playing Army guys, Star War legos, Star War action figures, coloring, playing with his friends especially the neighborhood kids. He loves to ride his bike and play any sport. His favorite food is bacon cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets. He also loves cookies, oreos are his fav.
His dislikes: Being told no (I think all kids have this same dislike). Being put in time-out. He will never admit that he likes school and constantly tells me how much he dislikes it. But, once he's there he is so happy and confident so I don't buy into his whole "I hate school" drama. He says the toys at school are lame. I can only imagine. Don't know what will happen when he goes to Kindergarten next year. He'll really be upset...
His biggest fear are the sewer drains in our neighborhood. I should take a picture of them. They are quite scary since there is no barrier in front of them. A kid could seriously fall into one and be gone. I can sympathize with his fear.
We are so blessed to have David be part of our family. It is fun to watch him grow, learn and develop into a confident well rounded individual. His whole face lights up when he smiles and nothing can make me happier when I look at him and know he is "my David," full of love and spunk.
