Meyer Is Five!

Today is Meyer's fifth birthday. On one hand, it seems weird to me that I have a five-year-old. On the other hand, since I have two children younger than Meyer, it's probably good that he's five now.

Meyer has very specific plans for this evening's birthday celebration, which you can read about on his blog.

I've been impressed with how much more mature Meyer has become in the weeks leading up to his fifth birthday. There are still times when he tears through the house like an irritated wart hog, but overall he's been unusually attentive and helpful.

You may have noticed Meyer's glasses. Those aren't prescription glasses. We got them at Dollar General. But he needs them. He often forgets that he needs them, but he needs them.
