Five is coming with it's own set of challenges.
I almost cried at the kindergarden info. meeting for parents.
Charlie is becoming overly particular about the clothes he wants to wear.
(He would wear his Laker's shirt every day if he could...)
And he is struggling with some bad attitudes lately, usually related to leaving someone's house or something fun...
To quote a a wise friend of mine,
"God is teaching me about his (Charlie's) sin and mine during this time!"
I found this book about being five:
It's about how hard it is be five because you have to walk, even though your brother gets to ride in a stroller licking a sucker, and you have to sit still in circles during lesson time and all you want to do is play like the little kids...
It's hilarious.
And on a day like today,
[when the 5 year old didn't get to eat the cereal he wanted for breakfast because he had a bad attitude getting dressed and the 5 year old didn't get the special fruit snacks mom bought because he had a bad attitude leaving Bible Study...]
it was nice to have some comic relief and share some laughs with him while his "sucker licking, spoiled little brother" took a nap.
