Number 2 is SIX!!!

Song: If the Stars were mine by Melody Gardot

You are six years old.  All week long you have been asking me how many more days you have to wait until it is your birthday. You absolutely love it when the spotlight is shining on you and today I plan on making your special day simply amazing.  Here are some things that I am loving about you lately:

You just started piano lessons and while practicing may not be your favorite thing to do, you LOVE your lesson and now that you have mastered a song, I hear you playing it over and over again.
Kindergarten has been such a fun experience for you.  You really enjoy your awesome teacher, you get super excited about special days (like Rodeo Day) and your teacher tells me that you are constantly making her laugh.  You are a true joy to have in that class.  And that class is very lucky to have you!
You make friends easily at school as you pretty much play with everyone.  When I ask you if you want to have a friend over, you always have a hard time picking just one.
You love building Legos.  If you had the choice of playing with the built toy or building the toy, you would build it every time.  Your brother even let you build his some of his Lego sets that he got for his birthday!
You love to make people laugh, and you love to laugh!  You love to act silly and be funny.  You bring so much joy to our home.
You are my little home body.  You love to be at home and be with me.  And I think this is just the sweetest thing and I love that you love to be home.  In fact, when you learned that when you go to college you will live there, you started crying and said, "Why would anyone want to do that??"
You are my little tickle bug.  You love soft tickles on your arms and when we cuddle you always say, "Soft tickles, please."  You most definitely get this trait from me and sometimes you are nice enough to tickle my arms, too.
You still love your blanket, and while I know if you give it up you may stop sucking your thumb, when you cuddle your blanket you remind me that you are still my baby boy.

Don't grow up too fast, buddy.  I am loving this stage of your life and I am so excited for your future.  You are such a kind and loving child and you most definitely make this world a better place.

Happy sixth birthday!  I hope it is the best, yet!
