- Play with friends
- Go to the Please Touch Museum
Five Favorite TV Shows:
- Bob the Builder

(can you tell we only watch PBS?)
Five Favorite Foods:
- "Pilaf" (lentils and bulgur wheat cooked together and served with dollops of sour cream or yogurt) - that's what his grandma cooked for lunch today.
- Rice and Beans
- Chinese food (I didn't get this one, really, we hardly ever eat "authentic" Chinese food)
- Indian food (particularly chickpea stew)
- Pasta (5 favorite ones: Macaroni and cheese [disclaimer: I don't ever cook this at home ;)], Spaghetti, Bow tie pasta, Ravioli, Potato Gnocchi)
Five Favorite Pieces of Music/ Songs
- John Williams' "Star Wars: Main Title" (from this CD)
- John Williams' "Olympic Fanfare And Theme" (same CD)
- Veggie Tales songs
- "My Life is in You" (Christian praise song whose lyrics according to him go: "My life isn't noodle...")
- "Breve Virá" ("Coming Again") - Hymn, as sang by a Brazilian male quartet (Arautos do Rei)
Five Reasons Why I Love Kelvin
- His birth made me a mother and transformed my life
- He asks such deep, complex questions and has an amazing vocabulary (in Portuguese, although his English proficiency is getting better everyday and is always surprising to me)
- He loves to give and receive lots of kisses, hugs, and cuddles
- He is very friendly and always includes everyone -- you can't ask him his favorite friend or relative -- he doesn't choose and says he cares for everyone equally
- He's a very happy boy, who loves to laugh and make goofy faces and stuff
Happy Birthday my Beloved Boy!!

Happy Birthday Kelvin!!
We should get together and go to the Please Touch Museum this spring Lillian!
Ohh awesome! Too bad I didn't see this sooner, I especially like this 5-things meme. What a sweetie!! Happy Birthday, Kelvin!!!! :)
OMG--Soooo cute! It's like that commercial, isn't it: "Blink, and they're five..." Often I feel like I gotta stop blinking, stop time a little. But of course we parents can't stop from linking and our kids can't stop growing.
'Kay--that's enough deep thoughts. I should have just said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" LOL Enjoy this year--it is an amazing one for growing little ones...
He is sooooo cute Lilian!!! Happy Birthday to him. I did not know about this day!
