5th Birthday!

 On my birthday we had a celebration at school.  Mommy and Daddy came to my class and we did our special birthday tradition.  The birthday kid sits in the middle with the earth globe, we sing "The earth goes around the sun and then Dexter was 1 (2,3,4,5)" and after each time I walk around the sun Ms. Kyou-Bin tells the class what I did that year and shows them a picture of me.  I was very excited to show my friends pictures of me when I was a baby.  I also showed mommy and daddy around my classroom and showed them how I am learning to spell small words by sounding out each letter, like cat, rat, etc.

Vital Stats:
Weight: 38.2 pounds  Height: 42.75 inches
 Clothes I wear size 4T shirts and pants, size 10 shoes

Skills:
Physically: I am very physically active, I like to run and jump and play - perhaps this lead to me breaking 2 bones this year. 

Verbally: My speech continues to improve and I am much more talkative than I was a year ago.  "S" still tends to be the hardest letter for me to pronounce but I am working on it at my speech class twice a week.

Dislikes: Not a whole lot, I am a pretty mellow kid.  As long as I have some warning that change is coming (like bed in 10minutes or we are leaving soon) I tolerate change.  Sometimes I don't want to go to sleep because I would rather keep playing, but I go to bed without a fight.  

What is to come: I have about 6 more weeks of school and then our family will go to Florida to celebrate my great-nana's 90th birthday!  Later that summer I get to go back to Florida for nana's 70th birthday party! September 2nd I officially become a kindergartener.
