Tuesday was Carson's 5th birthday. I honestly can't tell you whether or not he understands birthdays- I know he doesn't understand Christmas and Santa or any of the other holidays- but on Monday night I asked him how old he was and he wrote 'four'. I then asked him how old he would be on Tuesday and he wrote 'five' which is pretty significant.
We haven't had a birthday party for him since he was two. That was when we found out about his SPD (sensory processing disorder) and for his sake have made birthdays fairly quiet and calm for him. He can't handle being in a group of people, especially if it is noisy or there is a lot of movement.
For his birthday I got him a Magna-Doodle so if his iPad dies he still has something to communicate with. Mike got him a train set and his own alarm clock since he always plays with Baylee's and makes it go off at odd hours of the night-which is hilarious and annoying at the same time.

Sometimes it's hard to imagine how this little baby at two days old grew so fast into my boy who's almost up to my shoulders.
I hope the next five years don't go as fast as these did. We have definitely had our struggles, as I'm sure we will in the future too, but when I look back on it all I honestly don't really remember it unless I try to.
Happy Birthday Carson.
