Wowza the kid turned six today. Having a child that is 6 is a defining moment like turning 30 or dying your hair not because you want to but because you have to.
We celebrated Adam's birthday last week before Jonathan left for Haiti so today was quite a mellow day. Adam request Oreo's for his birthday school treat. So he enjoyed them at school and then came home and quickly pulled the leftovers from his Lightening McQueen backpack and enjoyed them again for an after school snack. The only thing missing was the Chief Dunker in Command... I would say we will save some oreos to share with him, but due to the junior dunkers having been taught the art of oreo-dunkery by a the Chief Dunker himself I doubt there will be any t0 share by the time he returns to his command post. Amidst the "black cookie" birthday indulgence the phone rang... who better to wish a 6 year old boy happy birthday than Gramps and Grams. Thanks for the call.
At six Adam:
1. Has lost 2 bottom teeth and 1 top tooth.
2. Has mastered the art of saving everything and keeping all things in mint condition. There is not a toy, trinket or paper that he does not genuinely take good care of.
3. Has started a bird book where he writes down the name of a bird, draws and colors it, describes the young, the nest, the egg color, what they like to eat and fun facts about them.
4. Will conquer his fear of being in front of people and even thinking about speaking by giving his first talk in primary next week.
5. Is Andrew and Matthew's best friend. Adam is a nuturer. When the tears start to flow the little guys always turn to Adam knowing he is the first one to put his arm around them.
6. Loves to play baseball and basketball.
7. Is as anxious to plant a garden as his mother.
8. Obeys with exactness the first time he is asked. Adam does exactly what he is told when he is told to do it. Always. He came to earth with a VERY obedient spirt.
9. Hates drips when his hair is combed with water.
10. Has a secret crush on Kara Greiner.
11. Loves oreos and yogurt.
