On September 16th, Jonas turned 5! A whole hand! He is the sweetest, smartest, funniest 5 year old ever. He didn’t even mind sharing his birthday party with his sister even though it was on his actual birthday.

Jonas has big feelings because he has such a big heart. He is so sensitive and cuddly and thoughtful and kind and I’m so proud of him every day. He loves figuring out how things work and learning new things. He is so curious!

The night before his birthday he cried because he had liked being four so much and because it was the last night I could call him “my four year old.” Jonas, my five year old, I love you so much and I know you will love being five too!

On the morning of his birthday, he said, “I’m glad you wanted to have a baby because I’m having a good life.” Jonas, I’m so glad I wanted to have a baby too and I’m so glad that baby is you!
