Dear Big Stink,
Today is your sixth birthday and you are such a little man
now. Our constant mantra this year has
been, “Think before you act!” But you
just can’t seem to master that impulse control quite yet. In fact, it’s so rare for you to think first
that you will actually announce it at times.
“I *WAS* going to jump from that table to that chair, but I thought
before I acted!”
You surprise me in the things you are drawn to (besides
trouble). You love to help people and
you love to get hugs and tickles. You
love babies so much that you will stop and say how cute one is no matter where
we are. You play really well with all
the older kids we are with, but also equally as well with little ones. I love how gentle you can be.
Your Kindergarten year was wonderful. You excel at ever subject and are actually
finishing up first grade work at this point.
You pick things up very quickly and then move them further forward,
concept-wise in your head. Amazes me how
well you do this. I wish they could
bottle some of that for me.
Your video games are a huge love this year. You love the Lego games for the PlayStation-
Harry Potter, Star Wars, Batman, etc.
You have a Skylander’s game that you also love with figures that you
collect. Very over my head, but brings
you much joy, so that is all that matters.
Your big announcement being six years old this morning is
that you can now go into Signa’s top bunk.
There is apparently a sticker up there that says you must be six to go
on the top bunk. Apparently, Signa has
held that over your head (figuratively and literally) for the past four
years. Today, my little man, you may go
into the top bunk. Enjoy!
We love you more and more every single day and are excited
to watch you learn to think before you act over the next few years.
Love you, Bubbinator!
