Well, that is what Wyatt pointed out to all of us on his birthday...he now has to use his second hand to show people how old he is. So it's a pretty exciting birthday!!
We took him to school that morning to help him get all his treats in to his class and it was fun to watch him go through his morning routine at school. (His friend Lawson even made a card for Wyatt and put it on his locker!)
He was so excited to wear the Aaron Rodgers jersey that Nani and Pops had sent as well as the "I'm 6 today" sticker that was in the card we got him. (We told him he could open his gifts from Nani and Pops and Uncle Rob and Aunt Lindsay in the morning, as they had come in the mail and had been sitting on our table for a few days. But he had to wait until dinner to open our gifts to him.)
Blake had a blast with the balloons!
Wyatt and his #6 balloon (personal selection of Sadie's)
I love how excited my kids get to give each other gifts and to make their birthdays special. So Sadie was beyond thrilled to give Wyatt the 'singing' card she had picked out....I love the look on both of their faces!
(p.s. they always want to look at/buy those cards and I always say no, so this was a rare treat)
Wyatt's 1st gift-his own ski helmet
#2--His own ski boots
He was so excited about trying the boots on and doing the buckles on his own, that he didn't even notice when Sadie went and got the last one out of the closet (we kept it there for fear he would immediately know what is was)
I just love the look of anticipation as my kids open gifts--especially when they think they know what it is and are really hoping they are right!
..checking out the bindings...
..and being the great big brother that he is, he let his sister and brother try them out even before he did...
...Yeah! They fit!!!! Quickly followed by the daily "When can we go?" questions
..didn't take long for Blake to figure it out either...
For the rest of the night and the next several days, Wyatt spent hours putting his boots on and clipping in to his skis, popping out of them (which he mastered by using his other ski--no easy feat) and taking the boots off....only to start all over again!
Sadie and I made fresh, hot chocolate chip cookies for dessert
(Sadie taking a bit more than a few chocolate chips!)
Showing off the New Zealand Black Caps (national cricket team) shirt from Uncle Rob and Aunt Lindsay, along with his ski boots.....he was torn about which to wear to school first, but the Rodgers jersey won out. He wore this the next day to school and was so proud when we skyped with Rob and Linds and Rob had the same one on!
It was a great birthday....with Wyatt's first 'kid party' a few days later!
