Simon is 5!

Simon is now 5 years old!  I can't believe how big he's gotten.  We had his birthday party at Green Mountain with a yellow Avengers cake.  He decided to dress as Spiderman at the last minute.  Here's a quick rundown:
Favorite Color: still yellow
Favorite Food:  spaghetti, pizza, ice cream, pretzels
Favorite Superhero: Superman (he just started watching Justice League)
He can now ride a bike with no training wheels.
He played Tball with the Orioles.
His favorite part about tball is hitting and saying "good game!" to everyone at the end.
He wants to be lawyer "like Charles Pitman" when he grows up.
He now sleeps with Aha, Dimon (his build a bear), Lion, and Cat blanket every night.

On Marriage

Simon (with a very worried face): Mommy, I don't know how to get married when I grow up.
Me:  It's okay, Simon, you'll know how when you get old enough to get married.
Reed (confidently):  It's really easy, Simon!  All you have to do is say "Will you marry me?" to a girl and she will give you one of two answers.  The best one is "No" because you don't have to do anything at all.  But if she says "yes" then you have to get married soon after.
