Owen is 6 !!!

Okay so the little man, my youngest, my baby isn't so much a baby anymore. He's 6 already! Happy Birthday Dude. His birthday was last Tuesday and we had a rocking good party for him that afternoon. Of course he wanted a Bowling party and he invited a pile of friends (which i'm happy to report didn't all show up...cuz quite frankly that would have frazzled me beyond repair). I also invited the older sisters of a couple of his friends along to play with Emily too. All together there were 12 kids...can you say CHAOS! They had a great time bowling and eating and opening presents - which all took way less time than I'd thought so we then had to entertain and keep the kids busy for 25minutes before their parents came to pick them up. Fun Stuff Baby!

Owen had a great year this past year and has really grown so much in so many ways. He had a rough go of Kindergarden last year with quite a few moments of stress, with him not wanting to get up in the mornings or go to school at all. He had some issues with a bully of sorts in his class room and at daycare which has all been sorted out. This year is completely different. He's up and eager to go to school each day (except for the pile of days he's been sick...which is a whole lot!) At some point over the summer we discovered the little critter could read! Totally shocked us. I'm so happy to have one more 'reader' in my house. He loves to read and takes great pride in it. I was worried that all the school he'd missed the first few months of the year would set him back but he's ahead of where he needs to be reading wise so all is good. Last year was his first year of YBC bowling and he did amazingly well. He's back in bowling again this year and loves it and of course he is Ukrainain Dancing again this year too. Right now he's loves playing with Webkinz and also with his Nintendo DS games - most recently his new Pokemon Diamond game. He loves all things Pokemon especially the 'action figure' type toys. Any kind of plastic figurine that he can make up pretend games with is what he really loves. His imagination is really something so witness. Our little guy is really growing up. Not the shy little thing he used to be, hiding any time anyone spoke to him. He's really come out of his shell. It's hard to believe but my baby's growing up more and more each day and turning into a confident, funny (way funny), imaginative young boy. Happy Birthday Owen. Momma Loves You!!!
