Look at how I have grown

My baby boy turned five yesterday! I can't believe how time has flown. I am so happy he is my child. He has brought so much joy to our family. Here are a few things about Trace at age five: He talks non-stop (really). He is a rule follower. He loves super heroes. He loves his sister Isabella. He loves to draw. He likes to sleep in Mommy and Daddy's bed. He likes to be in charge. He likes to make up new characters and "write" stories about them. He loves school. He loves his friend Paige. He likes grilled cheese, pizza, chicken nuggets and hamburgers, and that's about it. He likes apple juice. He loves his "Georgie" and "Pistol Pete" pillow, and can't sleep without them. He likes to do Tae Kwon Do. He loves his family and spending time with them. He remember things that I do not. He recites commercials word for word, and now he'd rather play games than watch tv. He starts planning his Halloween costume about a year before the next year. He has said the prayer each night for us at dinner since he was about two. He made a calendar that counted down the days until his birthday party. He still fights going to sleep and writes contracts for us to sign so he can sleep with us. (I have no idea where this came from) I could go on and on. I love Trace! As Mimi would say thank you Jesus for Trace Benton!
