Happy 6th Birthday Brian

It seems like just yesterday, and it is hard to believe that 6 years ago today you were born. I wanted to make sure that you had a special day today. Since your birthday was on a Wednesday, we planned your party for Saturday. I brought Chick-fil-a to school and had lunch with you in the cafeteria. Today seemed more relaxed in the lunchroom, the no talking rule had relaxed a little, and they let you go outside and enjoy the beautiful day sooner.

At school you were the VIP for the day, which comes with special privileges too. You get to sit in the VIP chair, you are the line leader, and during nap time you get to rest in the loft. You also got a special birthday visor.

After lunch I stayed for a little math lesson and then story time. I brought snacks for the all of your classmates. We made a special chex mix with pretzels, popcorn and M&M's. Cake, cupcakes and cookies are not allowed. You also helped me make chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles for the kids to take home.

After school, I surprised you with a huge Optimus Prime helium balloon and we headed home to wait for daddy. Presents and Purple Cow awaited. I had hoped that you would want to wait until the party on Saturday to open your gifts ha ha, that was not going to happen! We opened gifts and had a nice dinner and purple milkshakes for dessert.

The Optimus Prime balloon suffered from a premature demise when he caught a sharp corner of a blind when Brian was boxing with him.
