Happy 6th birthday Jake!

My Bo Baker boy is now 6 years old!!! Happy birthday, Jakey! I cannot believe how quickly that last 6 years have gone by. That doesn't even sound write typing it. 6 years? Slow down time!! You're a big Kindergarten boy now and inching toward those older school-aged kid years. I love every minute of it, but they're not the same as those sweet pre-school years. I'm so grateful to have spent these years with you and I pray for so many more!!

last night as a 5 year old

Jake, Jacob, Jakey, Bo Baker, Bakey Boy. You are such a sweet, thoughtful, loving little boy who is quick to give compliments, help people and you can be a very good sharer. You can be very obedient but sometimes you just want your own way. You can also get overly emotional and whiney, but we're working on it. You love superheroes, especially the Avengers and have recently started liking spiders after watching Lord of the Rings with daddy. You have the best imagination and I love watching you play- in this way, you remind me so much of Will when he was younger. You can come up with these crazy story lines with your guys but you keep yourself entertained for a long time. And yes, you do still say things that make no sense sometimes, but for the most part you are just a super funny, silly guy.  We love you so much Jakey and are so glad you're part of our family!!!

Happy 6th birthday Jake!

How we spent your day:

Your birthday fell on Monday this year, so we had to go to school today. CC is a lot of fun and you really enjoy it, though. And you opened your present before we even left. We brought chocolate chip cookies for your class and your presentation was on your new toy- Hulk that fits inside the Hulkbuster (you call it Squishy Iron Man- so cute) - so it was a pretty good day.

After school you wanted play time, your cake and then CiCi's Pizza for dinner. You chose a confetti ice cream cake this year. I used the same ice cream cake recipe I've always used- similar to Maggie's but did vanilla ice cream, sprinkles and Nilla wafters for the cookies. You asked to skip soccer practice and go shopping with birthday money instead.

A little more play time and putting together Legos then off to bed. It was a good birthday for my Bo Baker boy. We love you so much, happy birthday honey!!!!!!
