It's my babies birthday. He's not such a baby anymore. Every time I look at him I think he has gotten bigger and seems older then he did the day before. Watching kids grow up brings on so many emotions. I love watching him learn and grow, but I also want to bottle up the innocent child I have and keep him this way forever!
I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday. He's been invited to a few parties - and I told him he could have a party with his friends if he wanted. His reply to me was - "I just want to do something with my family - spend the day with you, dad and Sam."
So that is exactly what we did. Mike and I both took the day off. Went to lunch, went bowling, played with his presents, his new Legos, ate cake - whatever he wanted to do today he got.
I've enjoyed every minute I've had with this boy. He made me a mother - he turned me into who I am supposed to be. I love this boy to death.
On the way to school I told him I was going to interview him and asked him a few questions. Here are his answers below.
Name - Jake Latimer
Age - 6
Favorite Color - Red
Favorite Food - Pizza and Pears
Favorite Activity - Playing with my brother
Who do you look forward to seeing the most at school? Centers (they move from group to group working on different activities)
What scares you? - Black Widows - (he had an encounter with one this week - traumatized all of us!)
Happy Birthday Jake!

I love him too. he's such a special little boy. glad I get to be a part of his life!
Happy Birthday little man! Love this boy so much!
He is an adorable boy!!! Yes it would be nice to bottle up that sweetness. My *baby* turns 15 in a month. While he still has his moments, I'm not loving the teenage hormones!!
So glad you enjoyed the day.
What a handsome birthday boy! It sounds like your family had a lovely celebration.
Handsome little guy!
Ps. Black widow encounter? Do tell!
