Can't believe the boys are six! I tried bribing them to stay five, no such luck. They had quite a day, cake in their class (it was Mrs. Bauer's birthday too), brownies at after school care, ice cream sundaes at Red Robin after dinner and they have more cake tomorrow with grandparents when we go to see "The Lion King" in Lansing.
On their birthday, without warning, Mrs. Bauer told Matthew his project he made that you can see if you page down on the blog was the best in their class. Matthew had to get up in front of the kindergarten, first and second graders and read his project while they showed it on a screen. This is my kid who hid behind the curtain at his school concert!! He did it!!! He told me he was shaking but he got up there and did it all by himself! For a boy who is so shy this is really huge. We are so proud of him.
In the mail on their birthday, among many cards, was a package from Grandma Kris and Papa Mark. The package included really cool fire department baseball caps. There was a navy one marked for Matthew and a red one marked for Jonathan. The boys often have things in red and blue and never has it been a problem. Wellllllll....that day it was. Matthew cried because he wanted red. Jonathan said he would not trade. Matthew cried more. Jonathan said he would give up his red hat. Then, Jonathan cried because Matthew got the red one. Matthew cried again. We called G/G and asked where they got the hats if we could get more and they were from a swap meet in AZ and G/G were on their way to Texas. We looked at the tags on the caps and tried to find them online, no such luck.
I finally went to another fire website and found a hat Jonathan liked and said I would get him one. Matthew wanted another hat too. It's their birthday, I am a sucker, I said ok, told Matthew to pick which one he liked.
Matthew picked a navy hat!!!!!!
Mama can't win!
