Time To Party!

Christian turns 6 today! He has massive plans for tonight. First we are going to Subway to eat (his place of choice since "we haven't been there in a long time"). Then we are going to take him and his sister to pick out their birthday presents at Toys R Us. We'll finish the night by picking up a cake for desert and having it at home.

This past year has gone by quickly and he seems a bit older now. He definitely isn't the shy boy he was when he started Kindergarten. His first few days were a bit frightening for him. He really didn't want to go the first day. The 2nd wasn't so bad. He didn't say much to anyone in the first few days. He was quiet and timid. 9 months later and he is no longer timid. He tells everyone he meets that his school name is "Christian" and his home name is "Ollie". He tells them all about his school and classmates and what they are doing. He tells everyone except his parents who have to pry the info out of him. He does all of this in a fairly loud voice so no one can mistake what he is saying.

He's also picked up riding his bike and zooms down the sidewalk. He still isn't ready to take the training wheels off, but he's not afraid of taking off on it. He is still a kind boy. The other night he put his sister on his bike and pushed her down the sidewalk. Such a nice kid.

That's remained constant throughout this time. Hopefully he stays that way.
