Mr. Personality

March 11, 2009 by Elaine


In a matter of a few short weeks this boy will be 5 years old.

I won’t start gushing here and now since that will proably come on April 2nd. Instead today I’ll just say that I’m thinkin’ you can tell from the picture above that he has quite the personality. And he’s a bit of a spitfire too.

But I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I wouldn’t have him any other way. Yes, he challenges me, pretty much on a daily basis, but life would be boring and uninteresting otherwise, right?

And now for a little tip from The B Man: Next time you go to the “flower park” don’t forget your tiger mask, favorite stuffed dog and flower ring from “church school” because clearly you will NEED all these items for such an outing.

For more Wordful Wednesday please head over to Seven Clown Circus where Angie is roundin’ ’em up!

    Hilarious…we have a different outfit (all rather creative) every day these days…

    I wear my tiger mask too, but that’s for something else.

    That pic reminds me of my own boy, who will turn 5 on 4/12. Great picture.

  11. girlytwins says

    I can totally see how he needs all these items on his outing 🙂 You just never know. He is a doll. Wow…5 years.

    He sounds like a great kid!

    It’s lovely if their personality shines through! And the tigerhead is quite a statement.

  15. Sara (Hostage Negotiation) says

    I have a boy similar to this at my house! LOL Love the tiger mask touch. ;D

  17. Jenni Jiggety says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:16 am

    He’s got a collection my 7 year old would be envious of!

  18. Sparkette says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:46 am

    I can just imagine the conversation that went down on the way to the park. Cute picture 🙂

  19. Secret Mom Thoughts says

    March 11, 2009 at 12:54 pm

    Those things are all so necessary. Too cute.

  20. Hootin' Anni says

    March 11, 2009 at 12:57 pm

    Clearly…yes indeed, you need all these on your day’s trek to the park!

    My Wordful is filled with fireflies, fantasy and fairies today, won’t you stop by to keep her company? Happy Wednesday!

    so that’s why my last trip to the flower park was unsuccessful – i forgot my tiger hat!!

    adorable friend 🙂

  22. Muthering Heights says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:31 pm

    I love the tiger hat – he has quite a sense of style!

  23. Kat says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:36 pm

    Haha! I love all the accessories. That is just too cute. 🙂
    And can I just tell you how jealous I am that he is in shorts and a polo????? AHHHH!

  24. iMother2.0 says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:54 pm

    🙂 what a variety of stuff he ‘needs’…super cute shot!

  25. Becca says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:54 pm

    He looks full of life. I have a full of life child as well! Enjoy his birthday! They come and o oh so quickly!

  27. Susie says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:22 pm

    He looks like a really fun kid! Great picture:-)

  28. Christina says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:44 pm

    Hey Ben, thanks for the tips! I would NOT want to get caught out without my tiger mask. No way.

  29. Amanda B. says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:55 pm

    He is definitely fashion forward! LOL!! I will have to remember his tip. Now where did I put my tiger mask…hmmmm.

  30. Brenda says

    March 11, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    Ohhhh yes, tiger masks are important for most any occasion 😉

  31. Angella says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:11 pm

    You can tell he has personality, alright!

    🙂

  32. Reluctant Housewife says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:13 pm

    What a cutie! Just think how big your boys will seem when you have your baby. I remember that from when I had Monkey – Buddy seemed so grown up in comparison.

  33. Angela says

    March 11, 2009 at 6:49 pm

    That is too funny and totally reminds me of our 3 yr old as I was reading all about him! They are just alike! It always amazes me though how kids from the same parents can be so COMPLETELY different ~ mine are worlds apart!

  34. Anna-b-bonkers says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:04 pm

    Ahh, B man. I must remember to take those items net time I head to a flower park. I love it!

  35. blueviolet says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:13 pm

    I’ll bet he makes life ultra fun!!

  36. Threeboys1mommy says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:07 pm

    Ugh! Diego does the same thing, the idea of a backpack is so appealing to him. I should get him one of those crates on wheels.

  37. Lorie says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:54 pm

    That’s hysterical. He sounds like he could be part of my family….I’m always saying “Did you get everything you came with?” when we are leaving somewhere, because they bring all sorts of odd things with them.

  38. Kristen says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:22 pm

    Awww, that is too sweet! 🙂

  39. Octamom says

    March 11, 2009 at 10:26 pm

    I’m loving all his gear–instead of Boy Scouts, he may have some kind of Safari Scouts in his future!

    Blessings!

  40. Natalie says

    March 12, 2009 at 2:30 am

    too funny. i noticed the mask but i didn’t even realize he had all of the other “gear” for the outing.

    good news… MiMi renewed the membership after all. we will get to go back again soon!

  41. OHmommy says

    March 12, 2009 at 2:51 am

    yes…. FULL of personality!

  42. Controlling My Chaos says

    March 12, 2009 at 3:48 am

    I think your almost 5-year old should get together with my 5-year old. They’d have a lot to talk about.

  43. Krystyn says

    March 12, 2009 at 2:38 pm

    That is too cute….do they make that outfit and accessories in adult sizes?
