Being a family of 5 is something that I didn’t plan on. We are quite comfortable being a family of 4. Last year we had a 5th member of our family for a short time, but we lost him. His name was R2D2, and though he does visit sometimes, he was basically kicked out of the family for our newest addition. One thing that kind of bothers me about the newest member of our family is that he gets ALL of the attention. We sing songs about him, read books about him, draw pictures of him, and play a video game about him. We even use a funny voice when we talk about him. Worst of all, we all have a show tune from “Hello, Dolly!” memorized just because of him. Wall E, you have changed our lives forever, or at least until my sons love some other Disney character obsessively. Enjoy your place in our family while it lasts.

Wall E, poor guy, he will most likely be displaced from your family in one years time.
I have to remind myself daily that these really are the "best years," i know we will miss them when our kids are in their teens.
