After all of the other festivities, Scout got to finally celebrate with his family that he is six — at his choice…..Sushi!
He got to open his presents before dinner arrived.
A “Would you Rather” book that had the kids cracking up and thinking pretty deeply on whether they would rather swim with sharks or jump into a pool of boogars.
He got his very own alarm clock for “early day” each Thursday. He needs to be up and out the door by 7:20, and I am teaching him how to do it on his own with the help of Yoda.
And because we couldn’t haul it in, he got a picture of the tether ball set waiting for him at home.
He is pretty excited to get this game going with all of the neighbors!
In the meantime….with a whole lot of attention being thrown Scout’s way, look who got it right back on herself.
Isn’t she just a doll?
And a few moments later, she went for the rice up the nose trick.
Too bad I don’t have a picture of perfect little Dashy sitting and eating.
After baths…we had some celebratory cake.

Happy 6th Big Boy!
You are the perfect boy for me!

(Sidenote: When he first woke up this morning, he ran down to my bed yelling,”I’m six, I’m six!” I rolled over and said to him,”Do you know how HAPPY I am that Heavenly Father sent you to my tummy first. You are the best boy, the best big brother, a great example, etc. Six years ago was one of the happiest days of my life.” After my little speech, he was silent for about 45 seconds. I was starting to doze off when he thoughtfully said, “Aren’t you SO GLAD he didn’t put Berkley in your tummy!” Apparently Berkley is his nemesis, and isn’t too far from his thoughts.)
