Titus turns 6

October 30th had finally come.  Why had it took so long to get here, pondered a soon to be 6 year old???

We keep up with traditions around here.  Even simple ones.  What you do for one kid, you can just about bet the other child won't forget when it is their special day.

What the birthday child looks for first thing on their birthday. (And the presents)

Maynard leaves for work around 6:30 in the morning and so we all got up before he left so Titus could open his gifts.

He got his very own bow and arrow set with targets.

He had asked for a pancake with his candle like Josiah had, but I suggested going to McDonalds for breakfast since we were up so early.  He liked that idea too!

The play place was closed and he was disappointed about that, but this boy sure loves his breakfast burritos.
 

Josiah's birthday was in September and it was still warm weather.  I had took snowcones to school for his class.  Like I said earlier, Titus wants to repeat whatever Josiah got to do.  So snowcones it was.  This time I let each child make their own snowcone and they loved that.

Their field trip had been rained out and both classes were kind of bummed so I stopped in Josiah's class too and let them make their own snowcone.  It helped ease their pain. Ha ha

Titus also wanted to eat at Mr. Gattis' like Josiah did so that's where we headed for supper.

Titus ended up getting around $100 for his birthday.  He bought tons of stuff with his money.  He had been eyeing a few things lately and kept saying he was gonna buy it with his birthday money.  That's what he did too.  He didn't forget.  I had to run him around everywhere to get all his goodies.  Titus is they type of kid who appreciates his stuff.  He gets so excited over new stuff.  So excited in fact that he slept with some of his new toys.

Isn't that just the sweetest?????

He also bought a Louisville Slugger ball bat.  He wouldn't hush until we played after I got done walking the other day.  He is pretty good too!!!

Titus is one of a kind!!  Always keeps me on my toes, but it's getting easier.  He is doing so good in school and his teacher brags on him.  Makes me so happy because I worried so much about how he would do in school.
He is great in all sports, riding bikes, archery, etc.  He is very observant and knows where almost anything is around the house.  He is kind and hilarious.  He definitely is mischevious.  There's no doubt about that, but he fits perfectly in our home and I am very thankful for him.
