Happy Birthday!

Happy 6th Birthday, buddy!

I don't know why, but six feels so OLD. Maybe it's because the baby face is all gone now, maybe it's because you're in school, maybe it's because you being six makes ME feel old. Or maybe it's just because of the the many changes that have happened in the past year.

Since you turned five...

• You have started kindergarten.
• You have played in real "team" sports like soccer and t-ball (that I had to dip into my retirement fund to pay for...).
• You have lost your first four teeth.
• You are READING!
• You gave up your precious "hand blanket" (and by 'gave up' I mean accidentally left it at grandma's for an undetermined amount of time).
• You learned to ride your bike without training wheels.
• You have learned how to play the wii.
• You were diagnosed with more allergies than we ever wanted to know about.
• You learned to tie your shoes.
• You slept in a tent outside (well, inside too, but that doesn't really count) for the entire night.
• You caught your first fish.
• You vacationed in Chicago.
• You drove grandpa's boat for the first time.

I'm sure there are others, but wow, what a year! Happy Birthday!
