Six.

Birthdayboy


Big time excitement around here yesterday and today. Simon is six.


Yesterday we had a party with five other little kids and a bunch of adults and family. Kids were running and playing and eating and unwrapping. Simon loved it.


Here's the calm before the storm:


Birthday2


This year Simon went with a mixed theme. Elmo hats, Scoobie Doo banner + goodie bags, Dora cake plates, Shrek pizza plates, Cars cups, My Little Pony napkins, and a Happy Feet tablecloth. All favorites at one time or another over the past few years.


His newest passion right now is Star Wars. We got the original Star Wars movie at Christmas and since then we have watched it many times. Light sabers were requested as a birthday present. If he wouldn't have fallen asleep on the couch last night from sheer exhaustion I think he would have slept with those new light sabers. Those were definitely a hit.


No school today in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. so we are hanging out, playing with toys, and working in between.

    Happy Birthday Simon!! Today's my birthday too! Enjoy being 6 - a terrific age. My little boy loves Star Wars and light sabers as well. His favorites are Obi Wan (blue) and the Jedi Council (green) spring action. I also recommend Star Wars legos. They're awesome!

    So cute! Sounds like a perfect young boy's birthday. :)
    My brother is now 17, but he started reading the Star Wars books - there must be 50 of them in all! - when he was much younger. 6 might be a bit too young, but if he's still interested when he's 10 or so it might be something to look into. :)

    Happy birthday! Check out the clone words cartoon DVDs. Some are a leeetle scary, but they encourage imaginative play, especially if your guy has some of the Galactic Heroes. Check out Target.

    How heartwarming is that that you have 97 people (most of which you've never met) wish your son a Happy Birthday? Yes, my two boys think their Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
