Yep, it's true. He's six. And we're pretty sure he'll remember his 6th birthday for at least one of the following reasons:
1 – He woke up at 1 am ready to open presents saying "You can wake up whenever you want on your birthday"
2 – School was cancelled due to -45* wind chills (and Zach had planned to take ICE CREAM for his special snack)
3 – He had an aircraft carrier birthday cake that he helped design himself
4 – He built his new Lego sets all by himself
5 – He spent the afternoon getting a throat culture instead of having his buddy over to play (in the -45* his mom hoped to avoid going out in)
6 – He had his friends over a few days later to play military and watch Top Gun (on the portable DVD player since Mom couldn't figure out the big one – luckily noone seemed to mind.)
7 – When blowing out the candles on his cupcakes, he wanted his friends to sing, "Happy birthday, dear Maverick…"
8 – Following the cupcakes, he licked the toilet in our basement after one of said friends told a story about a cousin doing it – and Zach apparently wanted (and got) quite the reaction (thankfully the toilet had just been scrubbed.)
At the little party, I overheard him say to a friend, "are you feeling left out or not having very much fun? What would YOU like to do?" and was so, so proud of my big, kind, smart, six year old boy. We love you, Zach!
