He's SIX

My baby turned six yesterday - as Brian said, that's 1/3 of his life living at home with us. Wow.

Jared had a great day. He woke up to presents from us and from Owen - a Playmobil pirate ship and some Star Wars guys. He chose a wonderful breakfast of Fruity Pebbles - ack.

He had a party with his friends at the Castaway Cafe in Howell, MI. What a neat place! I highly recommend them for kids' parties. They do all of the set-up and clean-up and the food was on the higher side of reasonable, but good.

We came home to celebrate his birthday with the family - lots of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We all had a great time and he got some very nice presents - he was a little subdued during the present opening - maybe overtired? He had trouble sleeping on Saturday night. He received some legos, books, pirate "stuff", and a very nice homework desk for his room. Grandpa L makes each of the grandkids a desk when they turn six - for homework in first grade.

Six years old...eek. He's off at Grandma Camp this week and I miss the little bugger already. Owen is LOVING being an only child - he promptly claimed his spot right in the middle of mommie and daddy last night - and slept perpendicular all night. I need more coffee.
