Bode is now five! Neither one of us can believe it, yet we also can't really remember the time before him. It's been fast, but also been long. Sort of a paradox, much like the mind of a five-year old :-)
We opened presents on Wednesday. I don't know if Bode was surprised. In October, we asked him what he wanted for his birthday, and he told us. Then, every time afterwards when his birthday was mentioned, he would say, "I'm getting the grader truck for my birthday." No asking for it. Simply a statement. We tried to convince him he had to be good to get it, and he was (for the most part). However, since he "knew" what he was getting, his excitement was subdued. Here's a picture of him opening one of his presents.
Next is the movie of the same present. He seems excited, but not the jumping up and down that was expected...
He proceeded to open his other presents. He received the aforementioned grader truck and also this big crane truck, shown below.
Here he is playing with the trucks.
He also received a cool game from his Aunt Geri and some always-acceptable cash from Aunt Marnie. His party wasn't until the weekend, so we'll post more pictures of that later. Happy Birthday, Bode!
