Grayson: 6 years old

Grayson turned SIX years old today!

He is such a sweet kid and we are so proud of him. He is silly,  looks to the needs of others, and loves to be around people. 

He is 46 pounds (I can hardly pick him up anymore), 3 feet, 8 inches tall, wearing size 6 clothes and 11 shoes. 

He is rolling through Kindergarten and breezes through most of his schoolwork. He is a great reader!

He has about an hour and a half or two hours of rest time back in my bedroom each afternoon. He is so creative during this time. He writes all sorts of stuff and reads tons of books. I can't remember that last time he slept. 

He LOVES his brothers and he and Bowen play together all. day. long. They have hard moments and get frustrated with each other, but they are the best of friends. I love their friendship!

Lately, he and Bowen play Paw Patrol all the time and Lion King (since coming back from Disney World). They'll also make up and plan bunny hunting, or a vet or "take care of" their stuffed dogs. 

He gets so excited over things. He couldn't wait to decorate for Christmas, or open his birthday presents or even to go visit Daddy at work. 

For his 6th birthday party, he wanted to have it in Durham so that all of his family could come (and a REAL sheriff since he wanted a sheriff party). Thankfully, Thanksgiving is the following week, so it worked well for us to have it when we travel for that. We sent him on a scavenger hunt around the house where he found a bag of tickets for a birthday adventure on his actual birthday. A day in the mountains with lots of fun things to do. I think he loved it and felt special :) 

So thankful for this 6 year old boy!
