6

SIX!

This handsome, funny, smart, athletic, amazing little boy that I get to call mine is 6 today!

My absolute favorite number!

This age is just the absolute best!

While you aren't quite a "big" boy yet, you definitely aren't a baby or toddler anymore.

You are a Kindergartner as you like to tell me quite often!

You remember the lyrics to so many songs and sing along in the car all the time.

You know all the NFL and college football teams, who they are playing each week, what the scores were to previous games, who quite a few of the players are on each team, know quite a few of the plays, what the college teams were ranked each week, and how they came to get to the final score (math is definitely your friend)!

We check scores and my fantasy team score daily.

Call me impressed kid!

Yes, you still have some cranky moments.

Like when you have a loose tooth you refuse to eat.

Or if daddy isn't home when you get home each night you whine.

Or when you have to get in the bath tub or out of the bath tub.

When it is time to brush your teeth.

When it is time to go to bed.

You know, all the typical things kids your age get upset over ;)

You love so big!

Especially your dad!

That guy hung the moon in your eyes.

Mom isn't so bad either, but you definitely let me know that I am NOT daddy.

You are currently obsessed with Pokemon cards, Minecraft Lego's, playing all kinds of games on the tablet, running football plays all through the house (spin moves, jukes, tackling, and more), and are super excited to start basketball.

You still eat the same things every day (you get that from you mom).

Breakfast - Waffles, strawberry yogurt, grapes, mini pancakes and vitamins

Lunch/Dinner - Turkey hot dogs or chicken nuggets, carrots, strawberries, blueberries or applesauce

Noodles or mac-n-cheese

Snacks - Welch's Fruit Snacks, Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes, Oreo cookies, Fruit bars

And you still only drink water or milk!

You love watching Teen Titans Go, any football game or highlight show on TV, anything on the Science Channel.

And you love to tell me to check what is on The "NetFlax".

Things that are so cute when you say them....

You recently told me "You don't know my life"

Wiscontsin  (Wisconsin football)

The Beards (Kansas City Chiefs)

Heater Potter (Harry Potter) - You don't like HP at all!

You never stop moving!

While that is completely exhausting to your dad and I, we love that you are so active!

I hope you continue that your entire life!

You are a bit bossy though.

When you are playing with friends you want to do it your way.

You usually are telling them all how to play or where to go.

Typically that is because you are playing football and are the Quarterback.

But you also tend to call the Quarterback keeper quite a bit ;)

You have moments here and there when you are shy, but most of the time you are Mr. Social.
You know everyone and want to play with them all (just not at recess before school).

And you love your friends really big!

They go nuts everyday I bring you to school saying your name!

You all love to give hugs goodbye to each other :)

You recently named your "best friend" and went on to name just about every single kid you know.

You even included a girl in there.

You still want to marry mommy and daddy and live with us forever.

It makes you sad to think you have to leave us to go to college.

You have agreed that if you have to marry someone else it will be Tessa (Hey Lindsay!) since she plays with you and likes soccer! lol!

I could go on and on about you kid.

I absolutely adore watching you grow and can't wait to see what plans God has for your life.

I am sure it will be something truly amazing!

Happy 6th Birthday Xavier!
Mommy and Daddy love you more than you could imagine!
