After a WHOLE year of waiting and wishing, Wayne's big birthday weekend finally arrived. With his birthday being on a school day, we decided he could open a gift on Saturday, so he could truly enjoy it. He was THRILLED to open his eyes and see this baby parked in front of him. What did he love the most? The fancy wheels? The foot pegs? The brake system? Nope - he loves the kickstand! He headed outside and started getting used to the feel of a 20inch bike. It's a lot bigger than his 16" one, and it's brand spankin' new. I have visions of going camping and hauling his bike along with us this May - it's going to be fun! He keeps wanting to watch videos on youtube to see what kind of tricks he can do with it, but I just keep distracting him when he asks. Even though we have an accident policy through AFLAC for a reason - I'd like to avoid filing claim for at least a few months this year! 
On Sunday we had our family over for a birthday bash. It's actually getting EASIER as the kids get older, and the weather was so nice we sent the kids outside for awhile. Wayne didn't want to go out though, he was too busy with his Technic Legos to bothered! It was a full house, but a lot of fun. One of the things I do at every birthday party is to start off by talking about the birthday kid. For Wayne, I asked him what his favorite subjects in school are - his answers were PE and Science. He told everyone he played Football and Basketball, and that he was going to play Baseball, and that Basketball is his favorite. He has a new bedroom that is now downstairs, and he is ready to be 7! He is also counting down until Weston turns 6. At our house, your chore is to unload the dishwasher when you turn 6, until the next kid turns 6. Weston will be 6 in January of 2014!
Wayne got a special Skylanders cake too, talk about LOVE! Debbie at the Lynden DQ is amazing.
Auntie Thelma loves it when your Mom shares stories and pictures about you! You must be one fun loving, incrediable kid! Happy 7th birthday!
