Guess who turned 6?

This guy!

Nate turned 6 on December 28. We celebrated by having a birthday party at Jared's school in the gym. Not surprisingly, but it turned out to be a perfect venue for this little group. They could run, chase, play and sweat to their little hearts content.

6 things that we love about our Nate:

1. That he can beat Jared at Wii Boxing every single match.

2. That he does not leave a single crumb in his lunch box, we are talking nothing, he eats everything!

3. That he can follow complex Lego directions and can now play chess.

4. That he comes home daily with a half of dozen pictures that little girls in his class have drawn for him and stuffed in his agenda without his knowledge.

5. That he always has to be the fastest in his gym class, if he's not then he fakes an injury or claims the other kid was cheating.

6. That he had a picture he drew of the family chosen to be in the district Art Fair at the mall. I kept trying to get him to come and look at it with me, but when he found out it was at the mall, it was a no go. He kept claiming he was a famous artist but his strong dislike for any type of mall outweighed his desire to see his work in public. I saw it however, it was cute as can be.

And a couple of more:

7. That he is a true athlete and a natural with any type of ball. He even got pretty good at skiing this year.

8. That he is the sweetest boy and he always makes sure that we get our four hugs a day.

9. That he keeps his Kindergarten class laughing with is antics ( in a good way his teacher assures us:).

Nate designed his own cake for his party; and he was very specific with what he wanted. Thank goodness for dollarama for having edible Lego pieces. He wanted his name spelt in Lego, with two Lego guys carrying the final piece. The Lego candies were all in pastels so we used food colouring to paint them brighter colours. He loved it and that's all that mattered.
