6 years old!

Two weeks have passed since our Biggun' turned 6!

I can't believe it. 

Turning 5 was a big deal since he 

took up a whole hand!

Now we are moving another one?!

How did we get here?

We will blink and he will be 18...

I am not ready for that. 

He is loving Kindergarten

and

doing well overall. 

Just have to keep reminding him

even if someone else is 

doing something

that it doesn't mean he should. 

Whether it be peer pressure 

or 

trying to fit in. 

Our hope for this Smart Little Man

is for him to be proud 

of who he is. 

To not try to be like everyone else

to just be himself.

If people are not nice

or

making fun of you,

do your best to not let them win (by getting upset)

Be happy to be who you are. 

Stand tall and proud. 

He is super smart, 

loves to read, 

still likes to make music.

He doesn't do as much

breaking out into loud song with a beat, 

I am guessing due to the lack of echo

in our new home.

But he still does it,

sometimes as nervous habit

and 

other times because he loves music. 

He has two other kids in his class

he plays with the most

and

a few more that they are always excited to say 

Hi when they see each other.

When at lunch the other day one of his Teacher's

told me he was her Math Assistant 

and

 was helping other Kids with their Math. 

He has made a new friend in our new neighborhood

but

misses our old neighborhood friends more. 

He is sweet

 and 

caring

and

overall grateful for what he has. 

He brought a sheet home from school 

just before Thanksgiving

he said he was thankful for , "His two brothers."

His Teacher's are pretty good at getting the Kids

to express their own thoughts. 

He is loving having a yard with trees 

although sometimes

he needs the push to go outside. 

After a day at school he wants to sometimes veg on the couch. 

I let him do it some 

but then has to go outside. 

Or now since the time change

I make him go out first 

then he can veg. 

He also wants to stay inside 

to play with his rainbow loom. 

He is loving it

and

working hard at making things on his own. 

Anyways, our Sweet Biggun' is now 6, 

he impresses us every day 

and

definitely has days where he tests us also.  

:)

Here he is enjoying

his small birthday party..

Eating dinner with his Friends and Brothers

The Golden Ninja cake...

Being silly "striking a pose" (one of many he did)

Getting ready to light the candles and sing..

Blowing out his candles

                                 

Celebrating blowing them all out

Excitement over a remote control monster truck (you see D there mesmerized..)

We will get his "official 6 year old stats" tomorrow after school. :)
