Eilers 6: My big 5 Year Old!

I cannot get over that Ezra is 5! He LOVES that he is 5! Not sure if it's because he gets to hold up all 5 fingers, if it's because he is going to start Kinder, if it's because it is one year OLDER (he is always trying to be older..) or if it's because I always tease him that I want him to stay 4 and to stop growing. (when i tease him, he will say "but, God wants me to get bigger. You will see, you will like me being 5." ha!)

I love this boy with all of my heart. He is my one and only boy, and let me tell you, he is ALL BOY! He loves all things boy: fishing, hunting, sports, legos, bikes, balls, wrestling. He is so full of energy. He doesn't really stop until he is asleep. It's not a bad full of energy though. He is easily entertained and very easy to do things with. He has such a tender heart, loves to snuggle and is my biggest helper.

The thing that gets my heart strings the most is..He LOVES His JESUS! He constantly talks about God and Jesus, asks good, meaty questions and does not have a problem calling you out if you are not shining your light for Jesus. He loves to sing about Jesus, pray, learn and go to bible class. He grows me in my walk in ways I wouldn't have thought possible. One special thing about his 4th year of life is that he asked Jesus to live in him and his heart. And let me tell you, he is living it. So sweet and special to this momma.

Some things Ezra has conquered in his 4th year is:
-riding his bike
-being the youngest on swim team and doing well
-tying his shoes
-writing his first and last name by himself
-knowing his birthday (month and date)
-knows all his letters and sounds
-can spell a word by sounding it out
