International Act Like a 5-Year Old Day

Wait, some five year olds still have trouble wetting the bed. So today, does that me we...

happy birthday Noah!

this was awesome! Happy Birthday to Noah! he's got an awesome dad!

we had lots of fun yesterday. I took my boys on 'adventures' yesterday. we first went to the post office, then we walked across the street and got information about town and real estate for starting a buisness. After that, i took them to the park and let them play for an hour. then it was home to have lunch and naps. We had an early dinner of BBQ pulled pork 'sliders' then went ice skating under the lights. we had the rink to ourselves for the first 20 mins we were there. Ice Skating at night is pretty cool! They had fun, were worn out from all the fun. So today we're taking the day off to rest, and veg watching movies on the tv. (no cable/sattelite) Currently, it's The Power Puff Girl movie ;)

have a great day! we did!

Sounds like fun, man! Happy birthday to the little guy!! Enjoy him while he's that age. Soon, our young'uns won't be as ticklish and as "wrestle-able" as they are now (I have a soon to be teen...and I miss her toddlerhood).

First and most importantly, Happy Birthday Noah!!!!! I am a fairly new reader (I have tried to catch up and start at the beginning, but it just isn't possible with my limited time, so when I do have some, I read a few of your older entries, so forgive me for not knowing EVERYTHING as some of your more devoted readers)! I did enjoy this post until reality set in that is. I am dreading the big 4-0 this year and knowing that I will never have another 5 year old or another baby (unless it is a grandchild) is kind of a bummer! So thank you for that! But all in all, your IALA5OYOD is a fantabulous idea! In fact, I think I have them all covered! I sneak treats from the cupboard all the time (I think they call this closet eating)! If I could see someones face (without having to reach for a pair of glasses) I might giggle like crazy! I like the random friend idea, but in the past, they always ended up moving in (I promised myself I wouldn't do that again)! I really had to think about the sock thing and was curious as to why you said upside down (isn't that the same as inside out)? I don't have a garage, but there's the sky!!! I have no idea where to get a free sticker except for the ones in a grocery store that are on bananas (and nobody offers those to you)! Dang, now I really want someone to offer me a sticker so I can wear it proudly!! Who is doing the cleaning after I drop food on MY floor??? And why wouldn't I want to eat it?? Okay, I love my Dad, but I have a thing for hairy backs (not a GOOD thing)!!! I don't care how excited I am, there is absolutely no way I can jump out of bed (unless maybe the house is on fire and I don't think anticipating a house fire is cause for excitement)! As for jumping on my bed, again I don't think I can jump anymore and I won't comment on the bed! I liked the last idea so much that I actually called them and made plans with them - we are taking the kids bowling (no beer though)! Oh and not that I want to be known as one of your readers who "try to pick you up", but both of my kids birthdays are on the 21st of two different months. So 21 is now my lucky number. The reason for not having a third child...I was afraid it would throw off the lucky day thing! So on that alone, we could totally date (NOT)!!! Ha!

Happy birfday to Noah!! 1, 2, 5, & 6 are done on a daily basis round these parts (I'm much older than 5!)--"growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!"

happy Birthday to Noah! That is a good list.... (Is it a bad thing that I had done several of those things BEFORE even reading the list??? Yikes....)

My youngest was 5 last week, it's a wonderful age. Happy Birthday Noah x

I really hoped take a nap was going to be on the list! Darn!

Oh my (channeling George Takei), your 5 year old is nothing like mine. Mine is 7 now, but boy oh boy is he oppositional! I have heard from other parents of kids with 7 year old boys that they go through another phase of the terrible twos, and I was lucky to not have my son be terrible at age two.

But I could say, loudly, in every public place we visit, that I have to go potty. And when I finish I can come out and loudly proclaim that I also pooped!

Happy Birthday, Noah! Enjoy your cake!I get to work with 5-year-olds at judo class every week, and the secret to acting like a 5-year-old is simple: lose the dignity. I make silly faces, I roll around on the ground, I sing songs. Every week. (OK, I'm none too dignified the rest of the time either!)

47. You should play baseball in the yard! Who cares if you don't have a bat, baseball, or bases - you have a broomstick, whiffle ball, and conveniently placed trees don't you?

Happy Birthday to Noah!!! Five is a great age..still so much discovery and wonder. :)
