We've got a five year old on our hands! Rhett has been super excited for his birthday, especially since everyone in our family already had birthdays this year and most of his friends are already five. He was definitely ready for his turn! His birthday turned into an entire week of celebrations, and now our house is covered with balloons and new toys--I guess that's a sign of a great birthday.
We started the day with the summer movie (we left early) and lunch at McDonalds. Then we were off to the Butterfly Pavilion! Rhett had been asking to go for a while. He loved the giant millipede and all the fish.
After we picked up Andre from work, we cashed in our coupon at Build a Bear. Of course Rhett got the blue Hot Wheels bear, which he named Rod (like Hot Rod).

Yesterday was Rhett's friend camping-themed party. It was craziness with seven five-year-old boys running around our backyard, but they had a great time playing camping games and playing in the tend. Rhett was in heaven with all of his friends.
Five-year-old Rhett is hilarious, curious, and so smart. He is a great big brother, remembers the most amazing facts, and loves his cars, stuffies, and books. We love you, Rhett!
