Yay Six!

Me: Hey Declan, whatcha doin' today?
Declan: Oh, just turning six.

Since his last birthday, Dex has been to Rhode Island, been to Washington D.C., started Kindergarten, and started martial arts classes. He's grown a ton and looks more like a second or third grader than a Kindergartener. He's still best buddy to Logan and my most consistent shadow. He's incredibly kind and sweet, as long as you're not trying too hard to make him do something he definitely does not want to do.

Declan loves, LOVES, animals. He had a field trip to a big farm yesterday and assured his teacher that everything would be fine since he can communicate with cows. They some nature film in class a few weeks ago and after school Declan was telling me about some kind of bug where the mom leaves the babies after they're born and some of the babies get eaten by other bugs and he started crying at the thought of it. When he grows up he wants to be a "vetatarian"...or maybe a rock star.

With the combination of Declan's birthday and Mother's Day on its way, I of course am spending a lot of time thinking about how lucky I am to be mom to these kids. Yay!
