Faith.Love.Family: Dylan is 5!!

Another 5th birthday celebrated in the Batsch house! This little man seems to have grown much quicker than his older brother. Seriously where did the years go? Dylan has brought so much fun and laughter to our house. He is our clown and thinks everything is fun and games. With that said he is the one we have to redirect quite often so that we can get him to focus and do what we are asking.

He has a mind of his own. He doesn't mind saying no if he doesn't want to do what others are doing. He is timid to try new things. For example: would not get on a kayak without daddy holding onto it from the dock or trying his new bike/skateboard ramp he got for his birthday. Foods he seems to stick with what he is used to. We have had to make the rule that he will order new things and eat what we give him. Funny thing is once he tries a new activity or the new food he typically likes it!!!

His favorite foods right now are broccoli, green apples, green grapes, carrots, cucumbers, and spaghetti!! Lets not fool the crowd because he would turn into a cow to eat chick fil a everyday if that was possible. In the summer time he would rather your pool be filled with chocolate so he could swim and eat all at the same time.

One of his favorite books is The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl. I bought this book when I was in England and it came with a small stuffed crocodile. He loves it when I tease and have the croc eat him while I read the story. He has become obsessed with Ninjago (the show) and anything that he sees with Ninjago on it. Favorite movie might be either Cars 2, Toy Story or Nemo 3D (not realizing we cannot see Nemo in 3D at our house). He loves to fish, play soccer, and play catch with daddy. He plays baseball too but think he needs a bit more attention span to say he loves it. And now that he learned to ride his bike with no training wheels he cannot wait to go outside so he can show off his confidence on 2 wheels.

Although he may be a bit more difficult he is 1000X's more sweet! He loves to cuddle and loves to give kisses. His puppy dogs eyes get me almost every time!

Happy 5th Birthday Dylan! We cannot wait to see you grow more and more over the years to come. You are so special to us and we love you more than you could even imagine!

Dylan's Day of Celebration:

At the end of the night we took a family picture by setting the timer. After we got a normal picture we all got off the couch set the timer and jumped into position. Many of these are just for us to remember the fun we liked to have with one another. To others it will seem like the same picture over and over.
