I can't believe that Holden is already five. He is such a funny little guy. Always saying something out of nowhere and making my dear husband and I giggle. His teachers call him "the little professor" and "Mr. McCarthy". He recently had a play date with Grandma and Grandpa and they spent the afternoon gathering wheat, separating the wheat from the chaff, and grinding it into flour. The following day Holden asked his teacher if he could give a presentation to the class. The teacher later relayed to me that Holden was quite descriptive and gave the class a full and detailed account of what he and Grandma and Grandpa had done. At the end of his presentation the teacher told him thank you and asked him to sit down. Holden then said, as only Holden can, "but teacher, I'm ready for questions and comments". Which is so classic Holden it's not even funny!
Another favorite is when we went to Sacramento to visit Gabe's Grandma Jenny he appointed another gardener to take care of the school's garden. He was super concerned that something would happen to it in the next five days. So he asked his buddy Chloe if she would take care of it for him while he was gone. He even went so far as to inform all of the teachers of his selection.
Another classic is when my dear husband and I went to go watch one of Holden's school swim classes. We were quite surprised when we saw Holden in with the three year olds. (Holden can jump off the diving board and swim half the length of a nine foot pool). It was ridiculously funny watching him. He was so happy and proud of himself floating in the two foot pool. The teacher kept telling him how great he was doing. Little did she know that he was totally snowing all of them. Such a stinker. We are in trouble as he can talk his way out of anything!!
My husband and I are in love with this little guy and we can not believe that another year has passed. He is such a sweet caring boy. Full of life and full of laughter. I hope that he never loses his kind and caring nature.
Love you buddy!
