Emmett's 6th birthday celebration:
To celebrate turning 6, Emmett got to invite a handful of friends to jump for an hour at SkyZone and feast on chocolate cupcakes. That evening we had a family party with oreo ice cream layered cake, presents and (forced) dancing. Some of his gifts included a soccer goal, a battery-powered toothbrush.
6-year-old Emmett:
Is 6 years old one of the magic years? Because 6-year-old Emmett really is such a great, sweet kid. There is relatively little drama or extreme emotions in his day (there are exceptions--he's still quite particular about some things). He is quick to say "I love you" and give hugs. He enjoys school, plays well with friends and siblings, and adores Norah. This summary is a bit belated, but we are only five months into year 6, so here we go:
• Emmett LOVES to read and faithfully reads each night in bed. For a while he was only interested in non-fiction books, but then he got hooked on the Magic Tree House series. We check out a big stack of them each week at the library. He often reads a book in a day or two and doesn't have any qualms about reading more than one book at a time. He's also been reading the Geronimo Stilton series and recently started the I Survived books.
• He goes to the school media center before class starts nearly every morning for a new book (1st graders can only check out one book at a time).
• He's into making his own versions of origami and creating all sorts of things with paper, tape and a stapler.
• He loves playing outside, riding his scooter and bike, jumping on the trampoline. He really enjoyed and improved a lot at soccer this last season.
• He likes Star Wars and Pokemon, though not to a level of obsession.
• He loves the times he gets to play video games--either with dad on the xbox or on the computer. Most of the computer ones are "educational." :)
• He loves stuffed animals. His current favorite is a small stuffed bull. He has a lineup that live on his bed.
• He has his Dad's knack for liking specific measures in songs.
• He often goes to sleep wearing a hat. Sometimes his snow hat, sometimes a baseball cap.
• Although he can hold his pencil correctly, he still prefers to fist it. :)
• Loves adventures, mountains, beaches, lists, learning new things, and being creative.
• Eats his meals starting with his least favorite item and working his way up to his favorite--saving the best for last.
• For Emmett, chocolate > vanilla > strawberry/berry anything. This is true for ice cream, for cake or any other applicable desserts.
Still an artist when he wants to be!
