Easton is Six!
I can't believe Easton is 6!
This morning Hadley woke us up at 6:10 am (an hour before sunrise) so that we could help her boil eggs (just the whites) for Easton's breakfast in bed. She also served him an apple, honeydew, and a milk with a birthday boy ribbon on the side. She was so excited to make his day perfect. There were balloons on his bedroom door, and streamers throughout the house as per his request.
Today after his morning hockey practice (which Brian helped to volunteer coach) we celebrated with his friends at Nebs Fun World. He loves it there!
I think the best part was watching Easton and his friends all cheering for each other. They truly wanted each other to do their best. That was awesome.
After bowling, pizza, and cake we tried out the new play area. I was really impressed! It is large and clean and the kids loved it! Of course after this they went to the arcade to finish off the fun. He truly felt celebrated and had a fantastic day.
I feel a little off this week. Brian was away in Germany (Frankfurt) last week, and it was quite a week, so the stuff I would normally think of, I didn't.
First Hadley was sick. Vomiting sick. Then after finally going back to school and getting back to routine, at skating she fell, and that lead to a very late evening with me and both kids in the ER to get her casted. (The swelling was so much that they put a cast on and asked us to come back in a week and a half (the next time they had a free appointment time). Hopefully it is just sprained but we will see this coming Friday. I am happy to report that while she wasn't thrilled about the cast at first, it also hasn't really stopped her from doing the things she loves. Like left handed bowing and getting a strike today at Easton's party!
Then Wednesday of course both kids were in the courage assembly at school and it was Easton's special helper day so even though they were both up very late 11:30pm or so, they both got up at 6:30am to be ready for school. That day seemed to go fast and that night was an early night for all of us.
Thursday night the kids and I were at the school for the parent council meeting (I am co-chairing this year).
Then Friday was the Terry Fox run at the school and Brian came home.
Saturday hockey practice and then it was birthday party prep for the friend party on Sunday.
So that leads to things I should do this week in regards to Easton turning 6... 1. birthday photos and hopefully 2. a doctors annual appointment for Easton.
This week is also full of life stuff but hopefully I can get those done as well.
My little boy is six!
He is so much fun, a character to be sure. Lots of energy, smiles, and gentleness all in one little boy. I love him so much! Happy birthday Easton!

He is up from 110.5 cm to 121 cm. Last year he was in the 50th percentile, this year he is in the 85th percentile. No wonder he had growing pains all the time!
