I can hardly believe our first baby is five years old today! Where has the time gone??
It’s so easy to celebrate this boy because he is just the sweetest. He loves to celebrate and has the most fun whether he’s allowed to eat donuts for breakfast (a birthday tradition!) or gets to go on a week long vacation. His excitement is the same and it’s just so fun!
Shaney is the best big brother and has so much pride in his title of big brother. He truly sees it as his responsibility to look out for and protect his younger siblings. It’s the sweetest thing to see. He absolutely loves playing with his younger brother and absolutely adores his younger sister. If it were up to him he would have ten younger brothers and sisters to love and play with. He just loves his siblings so much.
He also has the most helpful spirit and finds so much joy in being a helping hand. He’s always there to let you know that he would love to help, whether that’s folding the laundry, doing the dishes, or just grabbing something for you. He genuinely just really wants to help.
Shane is wise beyond his years and is so thoughtful and responsible. He is quick and witty and has us laughing all the time.
Being this boy’s mama is one of the greatest joys of my life. It’s such a bittersweet thing watching him grow. Some days I wish he were back to being a sweet baby again but he makes it so much fun to watch him learn and grow. I just love the little boy he is becoming and can’t wait to watch his abilities and interests grow over the years!
He loves to learn and loves animals and it’s been such a delight to get to teach him this year so far in homeschool. I’m so glad I’m the one who gets to be with him day in and day out and watch his abilities continue to grow.
Happy birthday to our sweet boy! We love you so much!!
