To be 5

I've been meaning to write a blog lately and haven't gotten around to doing it. We are supposed to close on our house Monday so I can't wait for that to be OVER!! Anyway, this post is supposed to be about our 5-yr-old and his wild imagination. I don't really remember being 5 but I hope I was as free-spirited as Owen is. When I first met Brett he always said he wanted Owen to be a free-spirit. I just thought that meant he wasn't going to spank him. Well, Brett has accomplished his goal. Since Owen is in school now, he wears uniforms. So on weekends he gets to dress himself. On a recent trip to Garden Ridge, this is what he wore... a hat he made at school that said "My PrinciPAL is my # 1 hero, shorts with two swords tucked into them, sunglasses and a t-shirt.
He is cool. I'm not quite sure how much I like this stage in his childhood. He is becoming independent, good thing and a bad thing. He's not my baby anymore.
