Happy 6th Birthday E!


E, you are now six!

You are my sweet boy and you still love to cuddle. You have so much empathy for others and you put great emphasis on doing things that are kind. Kindergarten was a new experience, but you had a great year! You won best reader, best exceptional kid, and best musician at the end of the year. You still love science, reading, and art. You love spending time with your family and enjoy going on “adventures” together.
After a trip to Grandfather Mountain this year, you became obsessed with otters. We have read otter books, watched otter videos, and you sleep with your stuffed otter that you named, “Flip.” This year, you even requested that we have an otter party for your birthday. We arranged for a safari animal encounter where you will be able to pet lemurs, a tiger cub, and other animals, but no otters. There will be plenty of otter themed decorations and pictures though! Daddy and I are so proud of you! You are adorable, smart, and funny, but most of all, you are loving and kind.  
Favorite Color: Purple as always!
Favorite Foods: cinnamon bun pop tarts, cheese pizza, Olive Garden breadsticks, and french toast sticks (no changes here – you still do not eat much)
Favorite TV shows: American Ninja Warrior, Super Wings,
Favorite Toys: trampoline, art supplies, laptop
You want to be a marine biologist and work with otters when you grow up.
