You turn six today. When did you get so big? This morning you said, "Happy Birthday, Mom" before I even had a chance to wish you one! We enjoyed cupcakes in bed, our fun little tradition, and wiped our chocolate-y fingers on the sheets. You said, "I have a feeling this is going to be the best birthday EVER" and that totally made me smile. Dad has to work today, but you don't seem to mind too much. We opened presents before E could even say, "Mom, I'm hungry." We both know that "I'm hungry" is the first thing out of his mouth in the morning! You got a new Magic Treehouse book and a transformer. You were SO excited about the Transformer. I am glad that we got you a gift you are really excited about. I know that feeling and I am glad to share it with you.
During this last year I swear you have grown a foot! You are starting to be more helpful around the house and even can anticipate when I might need your help. You let Maylie in from outside when she scratches the door and you open the dryer door when it starts to beep. You have embraced the arrival of your sister and you just adore her. You love to give her kisses and don't seem to mind when she is crying. You have been patient with me while I am trying to learn how to take care of all three of you. You and your brother are getting along for the most part and you enjoy playing with him. I love it when you guys get creative with your play and truly enjoy each others company.
School has been challenging for you, but you are hanging in there. You have great days at school when you get to be the line leader or have some other job. You have a few friends that you play with daily, John and James. But, you really like playing with everyone. You seem to enjoy learning, but don't care so much for all of the "work." Your Dad and I are working really hard so that we can make school easier for you. I am hoping that we will find something that works for you soon so that you can take advantage of all that Kindergarten has to offer.
You have a wide array of interests, but your driving force these days is the Wii. Especially the Indiana Jones game. You would play that thing all day long if I allowed you to. You also love going on bike rides any chance you get. You enjoy your gymnastics and swimming classes and wish you could go more often. You love to talk about Transformers and Star Wars even though you haven't seen either of those movies. Your memory continues to amaze us and we enjoy hearing about what you learn on a daily basis.
You are a true joy to be around and are growing up to be such a nice young boy. I can't believe you're six. And I can't wait to see what your next year brings to us. You still remain the BEST birthday present I have ever gotten and I am glad that I get to be your Mommy.
