the shark

for those of you who have the pleasure to know bryson...he has 2 switches..."on" and "off"...nothing in between. ever since he was born he has been this way. there are times where this is completely endearing and wonderful and i love his exuberance and joy for life...and then there are times when i just want to scream "STOP!!!" and confession...sometimes i do...

today i told him..."bryson...you are like a shark...if you stop moving you will die"...he thought this was the funniest thing ever...he said, "yes mom...i am a shawk...hahahaha...a shawk mom" and then we tried to teach him to say "shark"...didnt pan out...but i love that kid in all his craziness! i am also loving 5 years old. how fun is 5? do you remember being 5? its kinda hazy for me, but oh man...the love for learning, the obsessions over newfound joys...the excitement of EVERYTHING...and not to mention...MUCH less tantrums and whining and pulling my hair out...dont get me wrong...we still have days...but 5 is a cakewalk compared to 3!!
