Drew is now 5. Hard to believe. He had his first "friend" birthday party. He chose to have it at Chuck E Cheese. The restaurant wasn't that busy so it was nice. I think everyone had a good time!

On his actual birthday, he had school in the morning and then we went to Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America. It was some sort of Somalian holiday so the park was packed. Auntie Mandi, Joey Anna, Dylan, Lucas and his Mom Juli joined us for the day. We ended the day with a "pizza picnic" in our living room.

Today Drew had his 5 year check up. He is 43 inches tall and weighs 41 pounds. The doctor talked to him about riding in a booster car seat (he still wants his harness seat) and eating the foods Mommy wants him to try (he told her he likes cat food). After he had his 2 injections (would have been 3 if he hadn't already had chicken pox) he screamed at Mommy that "it's YOUR fault!!!" and "I'm sitting in my car seat forever and eating cat food!!!" He was not too happy. We also had an incident today where he pulled a Christmas stocking holder down and it landed on his face. He has a scratch on his cheek, a cut along his nose and a scratch on the tip of his nose. The poor kid kinda had a rough day.

It's tough being 5...
