Happy 6th birthday, Rhys!


My little man turned 6 today. I can hardly believe it. I know it's trite to talk about how quickly kids grow, but it's just plain true. It seems like just yesterday that he was that cuddly but crabby baby with giant brown eyes. And now he's a big ol' cuddly and crabby six year old!

Rhys had been anticipating his birthday for a long time. Like, months. Like, when he started counting down, it was still 90-something days away. Thankfully, I think today lived up to his expectations. We met Daddy for lunch, then the kids and I went to see Clone Wars, the new Star Wars movie. Then Rhys got to come home and play hours upon hours of his new Indiana Jones Lego Wii game (screen time limits don't apply on birthdays). He had countless calls from family members wishing him a happy birthday, which made him feel quite special. I made Rhys's request for dinner (veggie corn dogs, refried beans, and macaroni and cheese), then we had Peach Cloud pie for dessert. He went to bed telling me that it was his best birthday ever, so I consider it a success!
