Dear Ty,

Dear Ty,


I can't wait for you to look back at this post when you are 30 to see what you were doing when you were 5.  You are such a Swapp!  You don't like change and love the same routine everyday.  You eat a PB & J sandwich everyday for lunch and a waffle in the morning with LOTS of syrup.  You don't like your food touching, thank goodness for plates that are already segmented.  You are obsessed with Star Wars and Transformers.  I never thought that I would know so much about Star Wars.  


I took you to your 5 year check up this week and everything looks great.  You are still long and lean, 40lbs (50th) and 3ft 10 inches (95th).  In the last few months you have been really interested in learning about baseball, football and basketball and the scores of the games.  


Some of the things that you have done this past year:

  •      learned to ride your bike without trainings wheels this summer, it took you two times
  •      Can count by 1s, 10s, and 2s 
  •      Can read the first two sets of Bob books and have started the 3rd set
  •      Love playing XBox Kinect at your Papa and Grandma Maggie's house
  •      Love your baby brother and your sister is your best friend
  •      Can drive us nuts with how particular you are about everything
  •      Can write simple sentences
  •      You twirl your hair when you are stressed or tired
  •      You love spending time with all of your grandparents
  •      You need to be reminded several times in the morning to get dressed which drives your mommy nuts when I am trying to get you to preschool on time!
  •       You always ask, Right mom?  Right Dad?  Which was cute at first but is now get somewhat annoying but we still love you! 
  •      You love spending time with your cousins and look up to Kaeden

We love you so much Ty!
Love,
Mom and Daddy
