You know the cliche, the days go slow the years go fast. Today before me stands a six year old. Yesterday he was five. He started school this year and is learning in leaps and bounds. He’s stubborn but loving. He’s quite the comedian, too. If you’ve read any of the Questions I Asked My Kids posts you’ll see that humor shine through. We never know what’s going to come out of him.
This is the boy who talks to himself while doing his business in the bathroom. He pretends to make YouTube videos.
This is the boy who loves kayaking. His first time in a kayak he paddled away like he’d been doing it for years. He was 5.
This is the boy who still loves trains, trucks, ships, diggers, dumpers, dozers and crossing bridges. He puts his window down to “hear the bridge” whenever we cross one.
This is the boy who love dirt more than trains, trucks, diggers, dumpers, dozers, and ships. Dirt loves him, too.
This is the boy who loves to do homework with his brother. It won’t be long before his brother will be paying him to do his homework.
This is the boy who is a half inch taller than what his brother was at the same age.
This is the boy who’s taught to say “I love you” without saying “I love you”. “I like your face” has become the new quote around the house. “Night night, like your face”. “Bye! Like your face!” Or at some random time when we’re just sitting around watching TV.
He’s stubborn as an old mule. He’s got his grandfather’s (Guppie) temper. But he’s a lovey boy who sits with the old ladies in the church choir, who has hugs for his teachers every day, who shovels the neighbor’s driveway.
Happy birthday sweet boy.
Reading about him, he is sure a cute guy 🙂

Nope. Bang is the “baby” 🙂 Like your face is certainly creative. We love it and hear it often. We all say it to each other now.

Unfortunately, we did not. He has been feverish since last Thursday so we were lucky to even get his party in. Hopefully next weekend! I’m dying to see it!
