Adam is 6!

Adam had his 6th birthday on Saturday. We were finally able to celebrate on Monday evening. A special thing I have started doing, is that the boys can decorate their own cakes on their birthdays. Adam tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, so He just told me how to decorate it, an he scattered the sprinkles on top.

I think it looks pretty good!

The birthday boy also gets to choose what is for dinner. Adam chose chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and grapes.

This is also an occasion where they get to use the "special plate and mug". These dishes are rarely used, they are only used for special times (hence the name). Such as: birthdays, good report cards, a good note from the teacher, anything that I deem worthy.

Since I have just started blogging, I thought I might take a walk down memory lane at Adam's 6 years.

We are still in the hospital here, so Adam can only be 1-2 days old.

Look at those beautiful brown eyes!

Since this is all about Adam, here are a few things I want to remember and love about him:

~He loves to talk about 3-D, things that transform, and camouflage.

~I love that he says "ungot" instead of "forgot"--really it makes more sense, either you've got it or you've ungot it! :)

~When we went to Erie, we saw warthogs at the zoo. Adam declared July 25th Warthog Day!

~It tickles me when I ask him to do something and he says"Mommy, I'm just a little boy you know." Yes, honey, I know you are a little boy. You cannot use that excuse forever!

~You will do anything to prevent germs being on you. This pertains not only to you, but anyone you know that is with you. If you know someone is going to the bathroom you will yell after them, "Don't forget to wash you hands!" When we were coming home from Erie this weekend, we stopped to eat (at one of those places along the turnpike). When you heard I was going to the bathroom, you yelled across the lobby to wash my hands (as if I wouldn't!!) I did have to wonder what the other people thought! :)

~I laugh that you have already found a bride. You love Lucy from preschool 2 years ago. You do not want Mommy to kiss you until Lucy does. Little do you know I sneak in your room at night and give you good night kisses. (If we do give you a kiss, you lick your hand to wash it off...I am not sure how that fits in with the germs...)

~When given a choice you answer is often, "both" (that is the reason the cake is both chocolate and vanilla). When asked a question as to what you want, your answer is, "anything you want." This doesn't really help me out!

~It tickles me how you can start telling a story, which turns into a narration-that goes on and on and on. One Sunday Carol and I took our boys for a hike. Adam started talking, we thought it would be a short story, but it turned into "You go around this rock, jump over this root, go straight...."

Adam, you are a funny little boy, you certainly keep things interesting! We love you!
