Lucas turned six this past Wednesday.It was a pretty good birthday for him!
It consisted of lots little celebrations spread out over the last week. We went to Kansas City to celebrate Luke and Grandpa J's birthdays. We went to a dinosaur restaurant where the boys got to dig for fossils--awesome! We also went to an outdoor play of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was a really great play and the weather was even perfect for it--oddly it got a little bit cold. Aunt Michele had a mini swim party for him and even bought him a cookie cake which is his favorite! On his birthday he got to go to an airplane restaurant where they got to play "in an actual cockpit!" Oh the bliss!
By the night of his birthday I think we were all birthday'd out. He didn't even want a cake on his birthday night because he had already had so much--actually he said, "Didn't we already have enough cake?" Even I was getting tired of it, and that is saying a lot!
He also got some pretty fabulous presents. Three of his big things were a bike, a skateboard, and a scooter, so now he has plenty of options when he's playing outside!
It's always a little hard for me when one of the boys gets older, but I also really love it. I secretly spend the day reliving the day that they were born--what happened at what time. I always wonder how old your kids have to be before you stop doing that. I don't really think I ever will. It's one of my favorite parts of the day!
I'm pretty impressed with my now 6 year old Lucas. He's a fabulous kid! He's smart, well behaved, and a huge help. I'm crazy about that boy! I just can't believe that he is now six.
