Happy Birthday Brigham!

Our lovey lovey boy just turned six. He was so excited for his B-day that he woke up at 5 a.m.! I decorated his room with hearts and he had to come in to tell me about it. Then he saw his unwrapped gift and E told him to go ahead and open it. He woke S up to share in the joy and he had plenty of time to play with his Transformer before he went to school. He also had time to burst into tears because he couldn't transform it and give the gift back to his sleeping mother. The Transformer layed by me for a while but B came back to give it another try... all before I ever got out of bed.

B has had a big year. He learned to write his long firt name back in the beginning of his sixth year, before he turned six he also mastered his enormous last name. B started Kindergarten and learned to read! This week he read to me the following out of Night Creatures: "Some animals are awake at night, and they sleep during the day. Owls and bats are awake at night. Crocodiles, foxes, and jaguars are awake at night, too!" I am very impressed by my smarty pants.

We had a simple dinner of heart shaped sandwiches, heart shaped cheese and apple slices. On his cake we put two transformers fighting and called it good.
