6 Years Old!

James is now 6. We had a wonderful birthday day. It started off with James and Campbell waking up at 6:45 am asking if James can open her presents. The answer was no and that she had to wait until after we had cake after dinner. She commented "why do mom's and dad's always get to choose when you get to open your presents?" Life is rough!
She had a soccer game in the morning. She is at a point in soccer where she will play at practice but will just stand there during the games. We're working on it. After the game we headed to the Children's Museum. We had a blast! Campbell dragged this donkey around and would not let any other kid touch it.Children's Museum's are great. We spent the afternoon there.
One of James requests for her birthday was that her, Campbell and Taite would wear bat costumes. I was able to make that happen. And they were pretty cute running around the playground in them.



One last picture. Taite has lost her baby hair and has some new hair growing in. This was my favorite dress, that she has now outgrown.

You are super mom for making bat costumes happen. I love Taite's dress too. Too bad she's already outgrown it.

What a great birthday! The donkey looked especially suspicious (dead?) in that picture. The bat costumes are very funny - something that only a child would dream of doing. I love the way you foster that type of imagination within reasonable bounds, i.e. parents do get to choose when kids open b-day presents!
James' present is going in the mail today (sorry).
