There really is something magical about being 5. So far this age is shaping up to be my favorite one yet. I know it's all hormones but I was just crying my eyes out watching Ty and Levi play. They weren't doing anything special just being 5 year old boys. Today has been filled with alot of pretend play from being superheros to imagination movers and a large chunk of time was dedicated to the care of jumpy (our latest frog find). I guess it's all just the innocence of being young. I vividly remember playing dress-up with my brother and dressing our pets in baby doll outfits. Our cat was never really fond of this bonding time. Then there was the time me and Doug found a bunch of baby frogs and we spent all day digging a "pit" for them so we could keep them forever (I'm pretty sure they were dead by the end of the day with all the handling we did). I remember the joy in finding frogs and rolly pollys and so it only warms my heart seeing Ty loving these things as well.
I guess I got all choked up as I watched them play because I know that although it might be in 10 years until they are teenagers...those years will go by fast.
