In our family Andrew has been, and will probably always be, referred to as Baby Andrew. But my baby is growing up. He is almost as tall as Cameron. He attends Kindergarten. He plays recreational sports; and he knows just how to work me over to try and get his way. How do they learn this so young? At any rate, Andrew just celebrated his sixth birthday.
My flight home after a short visit to Salt Lake was scheduled in the early afternoon the day of his birthday. Spencer let Andrew skip school so he could ride along and pick me up from the airport. Right after that we ate lunch at Red Robin and Andrew was given an ice cream sundae for his birthday. Later that evening we invited a couple of close family friends to join us at Chuck E. Cheese to help celebrate. Andrew had a great time and he was definitely spoiled all day long. My wish would be to keep all of my kids the ages they are now: 11, 8 & 6. I LOVE this stage!!!
You're right . . . freezing your kids in time at these ages would be perfect! Those are great ages and a great stage in life. Enjoy it! For some reason, at least for us, life got a whole lot crazier once we entered Middle School and sometimes I just want to back a few years! But, this stage is good too -- I need to enjoy the good parts and the different kind joys/perks that it brings. :)
