Six Years Old

Cole is 6! It's so hard to believe that he is six already. I asked him what he wanted and what he wanted to do for his birthday and he knew both immediately without hesitation. He requested we go to the Mellow Mushroom for dinner (granted!), to Goodberry's for ice cream afterwards, and he wanted money for his birthday to buy several lego sets he's had his eye on for a few weeks.

Mom and Dad came with us to celebrate. I don't think it's any secret that our family loves the Mellow Mushroom pizza, particularly putting all that parmesan cheese on it. When our table is done, is usually looks as though it snowed right on top of us. I have it all over me, somehow; the kids have it on their faces, in their lap, sometimes in their hair. We just love cheese. Cole is purposefully applying his cheese in the picture.

It was present time after ice cream, and that kid got more cash-money than I do on my birthday. He stayed true to his mission, though, and spent every dime of it on leggo's. He bought one large set in particular: a fire truck garage.

At six Cole is a voracious reader, a fact-teller, a very silly face-maker, he is purposeful and thoughtful and our lives are so rich because of him.

Note: he did receive one toy: a soft hockey stick/puck for he and Adison to play with. We've already had a high-stick, and 2 slashing incidents out in the garage. We're trying to cut down on the injuries.
