Oh boy, oh boy!!! You're six, little buddy! Birthdays get you SUPER excited....and your birthday gets you the most excited! You've been counting down since you turned 5 and now it's here. For your special day today, you requested corn, watermelon, cake and cucumber sushi....and you said 'mom, if you can afford it can I also have a twix bar?' ha! You got it! Dad and I were just discussing how making the decision to have 3 kiddos was probably the best thing we've done! Who knew what spirit a little boy would bring to this family....but not just any little boy......it had to be YOU! How lucky we are that we got you and what a huge impact you've made on us. You are a dream kid and our party of 4 was complete when you arrived and made it a party of 5. Here is what you were up to during your year 5....
KINDERGARTEN! Woohooo......all summer leading up to your start at North Beach Elementary, you would declare..."i am NOT going to Kindergarten! I am staying home with you!" But as soon as you lined up on the first day of school (reluctantly) and met your teacher Mrs. Janzen, and saw the other cute kiddos in your class, you were hooked! You wanted to go to school everyday from then on! You realized immediately what a blast kindergarten was. Your favorite things at school were lunch, snack and recess. You learned to read and do math. You loved going to assemblies and P.E. You loved impressing Mrs. Janzen...in fact...if you were acting naughty at home, all I had to say was...'hmmm, what would Mrs. Janzen think of your behavior?" and you would quickly turn it around, ha! You got really excited on the last day of K when she announced....'you are now all First Graders!' You're ready!
You LOVE sports! Soccer is probably your favorite because you LOVE scoring goals...but you also enjoy playing goalie. A funny side note is that you love playing soccer barefoot.....and you're actually better at scoring goals barefoot than with cleats, ha! Your feet are red when you're done with a soccer session in the yard. Your hand/foot/eye coordination is something to marvel at. Be it tennis, golf, baseball, soccer, ladderball, corn hole or basketball you are one coordinated little munchkin! I looooooove watching you play sports!
I think I write this every year, but some things never change...you are still the pickiest eater! And you've even stopped liking some of your staples that you used to love to eat a few months ago. Fortunately you do love all of your fruits and veggies and green smoothies so you are getting good nutrition. But after fruits and veggies, it's basically bread, pasta and rice. And you do LOVE cucumber sushi....you tried it at a restaurant with Mimi and you've requested it daily ever since.
Cheese pizza from Soprano's is tops on your list too :)
Your best friends are Indy, Griffin, Kai, Duncan and Walter. You've recently discovered video games and your favorites are Lego Incredibles and FIFA soccer. You hate doing chores and rarely clean your room. You looooooove dogs, especially your boy, Lucky! You love to get in his dog bed with him and cuddle. You love to build things and take things apart. You love to snack. You learned how to ride your bike this year and love cruising up and down our street with the neighbors. You lost your first tooth and have a couple other loose ones. Every day you ask us 'how many more days until Christmas?' You love sleeping with your sisters. You love playing 'puppy' with Esmee and watching "Woody Woodpecker.' You have the cutest little freckles across your nose and cheeks. You love imitating our voices. You hate having your hair washed, and it's a chore to get you to brush your teeth. You have the most heart melting smile.
Ewan Stone.....it is bitter-sweet watching you grow up. I want you to be our baby forever. But I know that is not what you want and I am enjoying getting a glimpse each year of who you will become. You are pure sunshine and we love you so incredibly much! Thanks for being our boy!!! Happy Birthday!
xoxo
Mommy
