And Last But Certainly Not Least...Ned's Birthday and Redstone


The Birthday Boy getting ready to open his present



Our Whipped Cream Tradition

Lego's something that seemed to fit his personality


Ned was smart about his Birthday cake choice (he realized through Gwen and Nyle's birthdays that he didn't really like cake and just wanted the ice cream, so I suggested Brownie Sundaes and he agreed!


Some Fun Facts about 5-Year Old Ned:

He is very neat and orderly.  He's really good about washing his hands and taking care of his stuff
He loves structure 
He's always been very serious, but is starting to develop a silly side, which is fun to see.
He loves to dress up in hero/boy costumes and pretend play
He loves riding his bike and our neighbor's kid cars
He has begun reading and can already read a number of sight words and basic CVC words, though it's not his favorite thing to do.
His favorite foods are Creamed Eggs and Ham, Hamburgers, and Hot Dogs
His friends are any neighbor kids, but especially Waylon, Leon, Desmond, and Marshall







We have this wonderful tradition of going to Redstone right around Ned's birthday.   Actually we try to always go on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and for the last few years, the weather has always been perfect!  We invite anyone and everyone who want to go and have a picnic, then do some hiking and of course, rock climbing!

This kid LOVES Redstone and turns into a gecko when we get there--climbing all over the place!
