Sterling is 5!

Oh how I love my Sterling!  When I found out he was a boy at the ultrasound, you would have thought I had won the showcase showdown on the Price is Right with how much happy hollering I had. I am so glad he is part of our family!

Sterling is:
* Such a sweetheart. He always gives hugs and kisses away freely.  He'll come and wrap his arms around me saying, "Free Hug!" or come and kiss my arm quite often.
* Imaginitive. I am so happy with how well he plays with cars and trucks and invents stories with them.
* Sensitive.  He is easily hurt. He wears his heart on his sleeve.
* Cute! People often tell me what a cutie he is, and how friendly he is.
* A Helper.  He makes his bed daily and is willing to help me do cleaning and scoop the kitty litter.
* Fun! He is a thrill seeker. His favorite ride is Bombora (a rollercoaster) at Lagoon.
* Silly.  He is in to potty humor lately, which means farting and burping sounds are hilarious to him.
* Polite.  He always asks permission before doing something. Very good manners there.

I interviewed him for his birthday.

He chose his cake.

And  scattered his present opening throughout the day. (Mostly cars and trucks.)

He selected Chuck E. Cheese for the celebration!

He was happy to meet Chuck E.

Eating some pizza.

Play time!

Sterling's funnest game, of course.

Striking some poses.

And the crazy parents!

Grandpa & Grandma came over for some cake and ice cream.

A fun filled birthday!
