Jack turns 6

Jack is all growed up.  The clothes I bought him in late fall are now too small.  He's not too old, though, he's still sweet and fun.  It will be a sad, sad day when he's too old to yell "I love you, Mom!  You're the best!  Bye!" as he's walking into the school.  He's doing wonderfully well in school and is a great reader.

Every morning Jack likes to play Xbox after breakfast for about an hour.  He's really good at it and has finally talked Lily into playing with if she's home.    His favorite is the Lego games, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, etc.  It's a good time.

One thing that surprised me about having a little boy, since I had never been around them until I had my own, is how they need cuddles and love as much as girls, maybe even more.  He asks me to cuddle with him almost every night and loves to sit as close to me as possible.  Every night he always gives me kisses while we're brushing teeth.  This is usually appreciated, unless he has toothpaste all over his mouth.

He took care of Junie in the bath.

He's a weird kid that does things his own way.  He made 'Smores with Roasted Pepper Triscuit.

He eats hot dogs all wrong. 

 Nerd day at school.

He went shooting with Dad and made some friends with some pretty ladies.  He was loving it.

He went through a phase where he called himself "DJ" (and made everyone else call him that) and wore these headphones (non-functioning) at all times.  For some reason he also made a really tough face.  I have no idea where he got this.

Jack started a Karate class finally.  He was very excited about it at first.  Here is a letter he wrote in school.  It says:  "Dear Jack, Dear Dad Thank you to bringing me to Karate."

He lost interest after about 3 months, but I'm going to keep trying for now.

For his birthday he asked for an Angry Birds Party, which was a little surprising since he hasn't been that into them for awhile.  I was fine with it because I'd done an Angry Birds Party for Lily a few years back and knew how to do it.  

He got a Monster truck craft kit.  It was a good time.

Here is his birthday survey:
