July is another birthday month

My boy is growing up & turning 6 this month. Unbelievable! He’s got a few ideas of how things should be. And he wants it his way. And he has his own interesting logic!

Bubs takes after his father. As soon as his birthday month hits, he wants to celebrate. This morning, Bubs asked to go to his classroom on his own (while I check in K into her summer classroom). He says “because it’s almost my birthday.”

“And for my birthday can we roll the ball?” What in the world is he talking about? " I want to roll the ball. The one with the ice cream inside.” Thank you Aunt J & Uncle L! He loves that ice cream ball. We might even roll it this weekend for homemade ice cream.

And because his birthday is July 24th, he feels he should also have fireworks – like July 4th. They both have a four in it!! This morning, he told me he wants to save some of the fireworks we bought (we can light them off in Dublin) for his birthday. Unfortunately it is only legal to light them off this weekend, not at the end of the month.

We'll see how many other things he comes up with, since his birthday is coming up...
