Happy 6th Birthday!

It is hard to believe that 6 years ago, Doug and I were blessed to welcome Dallas into our lives.

He has grown into a funny, energetic, lovable, artistic, sharp as a tack, and sometimes mischievous, boy.

We will be celebrating Dallas' birthday with family this coming weekend, and I am still working on his "favorites" video.  Until then, here is a little of what Dallas is up to (per Momma):

Wears size 6 clothes
Wears size 13 shoes
Goes to bed at 8 p.m. and wakes up between 6 and 6:15 in the mornings
Will still take a 2-3 hour nap on the weekends
Hates to wear jeans
Can tie his shoes
Loves to color, cut, and create art projects
Prefers fruits and vegetables over meat
Loves to ride any pedal toy
Has started to read and knows many, many sight words
Loves to practice writing his words and making sentences
Easily counts to 100 by 1's, 5's, and 10's - working on going to 150 and counting by 2's
Knows his address and phone number
Still loves all tractors - anything from small 1/64th scale toys all the way up to the real ones
He enjoys painting and customizing his toy tractors
Loves to kick a ball or toss a ball
Enjoys helping clear the table after supper
Loves to hug, kiss, and hold Julianne
Can't wait to get home after school and play games with Reba
Loves to wrestle, give wedgies, and play tricks on others
Even with all of his energy and orneriness, he still loves to cuddle up at the end of the day and read a book

Until next time...
