SIX

My scruffy, dirty, un-bathed child at Six.

He had a hair cut this week, you may not be able to tell, because he refused to comb it today.

He is also wearing a t-shirt that he has worn off and on for a week, because he loves it.

I asked him what he wanted to do today, and  he simply said "Nothing", as if he needed a break from nothing, lol. He seems more wise beyond his years sometimes. We ate a big breakfast, and spent the rest of the day hiding out in the cool air conditioning, playing his new Wii game, and playing in the floor. It was a very relaxed, very cool day of nothing. I think he really enjoyed it. And to top it all off, this afternoon we had a visitor. The door bell rang, I peeked outside, and made Patrick answer the door. There was a sweet woman standing out in the hot wind, holding a rather large bouquet of balloons, from Aunt Annie. The woman told Patrick, "Your aunt Annie is sorry she couldn't be here and I know she loves you very much. Happy birthday Patrick". You should have seen the grin on his face, he seemed shocked, and surprised, and incredibly special. Lol. It made his day, thank you Annie, that was so very sweet, and it made him feel so loved and special. 

Lol. So here he is, in all the freshness and newness of Six.

A little rugged, but thrilled none the less.
