Happy 5th Birthday Nathan!

In honor of Nathan's 5th birthday, here are 5 of his current obsessions (and boy - it was hard narrowing this list down to 5!)

1. Fashion - he is even more particular than before about what he wears. Acceptable choices are: jeans, athletic shorts, camo shorts, camo crocs, camo flip flops and t-shirts with pictures. Banned from the wardrobe: "handsome" shirts, stripes, plain khaki shorts, and tennis shoes. He dresses himself every day - so that's my disclaimer to whetever he is wearing.

2. Disasters - he is really interested in books about hurricanes, floods, shipwrecks, volcanoes, - especially when it involves mass destruction.

3. Max & Ruby - for some reason he is obessed with this show and wants to watch it every morning. Never mind that it didn't take him more than 2 weeks to see every episode ever made. He is still back for more.

4. Video games - After the first time I took him to The Zone, he was hooked. He loves any game and asks to go back daily. Unfortunately, he really likes that claw thing where you put in lots of tokens to not get anything.

5. Big boy stuff - he was so over the 3 wheel scooter, so he has been riding Margaret's 2 wheel scooter until today, when he got his own red Razor for his birthday. He is also obsessed with riding his bike without training wheels off curbs, his pocket knife, and anything else he thinks is big boy.

And he is a big boy - our biggest little man 5 year old.
