FIVE...FIVE...FIVE

An entire hand....that is what Ezekiel now needs to show his age! He is sooooooo happy to be five and lets share a few reasons why.

*He got to wear his birthday hat and blow out a candle in his pancakes.

He also got a stack of cookies and 2 different cakes (all on different days).

*He now can enjoy gum! He has been anticipating this moment for a while and now he can enjoy chewing gum. He got his own little gum dispenser at Titus birthday and has already had his fair share of the tasty treats. It took a little practice on the chewing and not swallowing part, but he has it down.

*He also got to go into a new classroom at church. This was a big deal to him due to the fact that most of his friends had already promoted up to that classroom.

*He is also understanding birthdays more and that it entails gifts. He was quite happy that he got to open his own presents and enjoy all the treats especially for him.

*He got to pick a place to eat for lunch. He made us proud when he chose.......

Costco! What a sensible, practical boy. He just wanted to make sure he could get ice cream there when he made his selection.

*He got to pop five balloons with a dollar inside each one!

Ezekiel is a fantastic young boy. Did you read that...boy...he no longer has that toddler chub and when you look at him- you see boy. Ezekiel is currently 42 inches tall and weighs 44 pounds. He loves to ride his bike, dig, work, help Papa fix things, break things (perhaps one day the fixing and breaking will go together), play/build with legos, LOVES to shoot (everything is a gun right now), and to lead in whatever he is doing. When you ask him what he want to be when he gets bigger he will say a policeman and fireman. He is into obeying the rules and making sure others are doing what he wants them to. His favorite thing to watch is Charlie Brown and Looney Tunes. His favorite food is ice cream because it is cold on his teeth and he likes apple pie. When asked his name he says "Ezekiel Ryan Case". His favorite color is blue. His best friend is Bailey (and a close 2nd is Jordan...pretty much a tie). His favorite animal is a lizard because he likes to catch them. His favorite movie is Lightening McQueen (Cars). His favorite book is What makes him happy? "Mommy kissing me." What makes him sad? "When Mommy doesn't let him have what he wants." His favorite song to sing is the B-I-B-L-E. He likes to play puzzles. He is growing into quite a young boy. We love him so much that all the kiss, tickle time, wrestling, and hugs couldn't express it. We look forward to all the ways God will use him.
