Today was Evan's fifth birthday. Now I have a five year old. It sounds crazy to say it, but it's true. He's going to be going to kindergarten this year -- I can't say that without feeling both immense pride and trepidation.

Notice the strategy of grouping the candles. He certainly understands how to stack the odds in his favor.

This is the very first time he has ever put together a Lego set by himself. I had to leave the room because I just couldn't keep my big mouth from offering advice that he simply didn't need. Fortunately, Caren was there with the camera to document the process. He is very proud of this car. Also, you can't see it in these pictures, but he let his sister help open his presents.

It's the Red Ranger, need I say more? Yes? He's the Red Ranger from Power Rangers: Mystic Forces, because he has a cape. If he didn't have a cape, he'd be the Red Ranger from Power Rangers: Space Police Division. Yes, I know these things now*.
Happy birthday, Evan. I love you.

* Actually, I thought it was "Special Police Division," but Caren has corrected me. Should I be ashamed or relieved?
