Dexter has done an awful lot of growing up this past year. He is taller. His face continues to get slimmer and lose more of those chubby babyish features. He has matured dramatically. His personality and sense of humour/sarcasm has blossomed. He is just amazing!
Dexter started full time school in September (loving it!) and has already settled in well, seemingly a popular member of his class, always happy to play the joker because he likes to make people laugh.
He continues to be such a bloody awesome big brother too. Having being an only child for the first 3 years of his life, Dexter already took to having a sibling around with the greatest of ease from day one. But as she has grown and developed her own personality, Dexter's little sister isn't always the easiest sibling to get along with haha.
And now my grown up boy is turning 5. Rayna treated herself to a lie in that morning so Dexter got to open his presents without having to share them straight away :)
After having some time to play with his new toys, Dexter got ready for school and got to share sweets with his friends, have some cake and get a present from the birthday fairy. After school we went to his place of choice for tea... Pizza Hut.
And given what a large group of friends he has made over the previous year at nursery plus the extra he made in such a short space of time after he started reception, Dexter had a proper birthday party this year and got to invite some of his friends along.
Dexter is so grown up and mature and funny, I can't even tell you how proud I am of him! He got an absolutely glowing report at parent's evening. He is excelling academically which just makes him seem even more amazing to me. I just can't wait to spend many more years nurturing him and watching him grow <3
