Out of the mouth of Ian!

I am so glad that God has a sense of humor and blessed me w/my Ian. That boy is always thinking and doing the unthinkable. Not bad just not what you would expect. He loves to create and begged me at the craft store for this bag of buttons and his own wire. So since I had told him No the last time I decided to get it for him. The next day at Kolette's recital he was sitting there making jewelry for his friends. He made his friend Natalie and her little sister a bracelet. He makes them for me and his sisters and makes Kolette rings out of wire as well.

So we have all these cupboards in our toy room. He likes to play in this one bottom cupboard and decided it was alot of work to open and close the door on it. So since on his 5th b-day my in-laws got him real tools he took the screwdriver and took off the door. Gotta admire his willingness to do it himself. So then he decides that his bear needs a hook to hang his scarf from he goes and gets a nail and uses his hammer and puts a nail in the side of his bunk bed. Grr... drives me crazy but yet he is using his brain.

So yesterday he is susposed to be getting dressed up for school and the Christmas concert was yesterday as well. So he refuses to wear his nice new sweater and turtleneck. He says he is susposed to get dressed up and needs to wear his Darth Vadar costume. He said the girls were wearing dresses and the boys get to dress up. I told him that they weren't wearing their halloween costumes but he insisted. So we settled on a nice black button up and a real tie. He loved the attention from the ladies and as he calls them "his girls" for looking so nice though.

Honestly he will argue w/me over clothes as much as Corrin. One of the other Kinder teachers told him she liked his shirt one day and it happened to be green. So he decides that he needs to wear a green shirt everyday b/c she liked it and she is pretty and nice. I had to tell her to tell him to wear red since that is his fave and he has lots of it. This boy wears cologne and worries about his hair. What am I going to do w/him when he hits puberty? He is such a darling sweetie but he already notices the pretty girls. He will even chase or push boys who mess w/his girls. You are very lucky if you are counted among his girls.

He just makes me wonder what next will come to mind. For now we will enjoy his being 5 and take it a day at a time:o)
