Hey Bug, You're 6! It's almost 2 months later and that still hasn't quite settled with me yet. Although I'm a little behind schedule, I wanted to take the time to document how we celebrated your special day. So, here's how it all went...
Thursday, June 27, 2013 - You woke up and asked me how tall you looked; and to me you looked every bit a 6 year old. You got dressed (Fisher & I stayed in our PJ's, but we couldn't convince you to go out in public in your PJ's) and we all went to get donuts at Mary Lee's before Daddy headed off to work for a morning meeting. You ordered an "LSU" donut with purple & gold sprinkles and had chocolate milk.
Then we (me, you, and Fisher) packed up and went to a playdate at Jack's house. Mrs. Cris set up the slip-n-slide and sprinklers for you and all your friends to play in the backyard and have a picnic lunch. We brought an ice chest full of water balloons and they were gone in 60 seconds! It was a great way to spend your first morning as a 6 year old.
After lunch, we headed back to BR to meet Daddy for a movie. We went to see Monsters University! You had popcorn and a Coke Icee and couldn't have been a happier camper.
After the movie, we walked over to the bookstore where you picked out an ant farm. And later, we met up with Parrain Jamie and all went to Frankie's Dawg House for dinner. It was a new experience for us; but we all know how much you love hot dogs, so we couldn't have picked a more perfect place.
After dinner, we stopped at the snowball stand to get you a rainbow snowball, then we headed home to open presents, which included your first "Big Kid" Bible with chapters/verses, some math flash cards, Jenga, & Battleship.
We immediately opened up the games and attempted to play Jenga, but realized very quickly this was not a game to play with Fisher in the room. So we switched to Battleship. You and Jamie played against me. I wish I could say I let you win, but my competitive spirit took over. You had so much fun learning how to play that I don't even think you noticed.
We had a great day together with our family and friends and I know for sure you went to bed that night with a smile on your face, most likely dreaming about your party on Saturday... (to be continued.)
