A 6 Year Old?!?

Well, he's officially 6! It's been a long wait and a lot of excitement, but this week we have a 6 year old in the house!








We started the week off with a little party! His Kindergarten buddies met us at the local rec center for cake and goodies and then some basketball. He's been on his first basketball team and loving it. It was the basis for the basketball theme he picked this year! 

We finished off with celebrating on his real day. We had all the traditions of busting through the bedroom door, and waiting all day for Daddy to get home to open gifts. (That's a tough one!) This year,  he chose to eat at Rubio's and we got ice cream at McDonald's and some play time. Not a bad way to celebrate being 6!





(And just because it's been so long since I've posted, I decided to add this photo to prove the other 2 boys are alive and well!)


Wow! 6 years old now, buddy! Time sure is flying. You have really grown in so many ways this past year. Now in Kindergarten- doing so much of the things you've watched your big brother do. Every day you are so excited to head out the door. You are an eager learner and pick up things quickly. Your biggest complaint is that I won't let you stay for the Enrichment time (stay-all-day program). You are intense...You play hard, you laugh hard and you love hard! You bring so much energy and laughter to our house. You definitely raise the noise level a few notches too! 

But just as you can be loud and crazy, you have the kindest heart. You ask me how you can help me when you see I am stressed out. You offer some of the sweetest and most heartfelt prayers for people you've never met. You run to your baby brother's side when he's crying or upset. 

As you are growing before my eyes, you are developing into such a great kid! I love that you have your two-sides- loving life and loving people. Can't wait for at least 60 more years of being your mom!
