6

Well, he did it.   He went ahead and turned 6, despite my protests, and my scolding, he just did it anyway.  

Scott Isaac Knudsen turned 6!

This is one special little boy...   His presence in our lives is a remarkable blessing if not a miracle.   That is a big story by itself.    But, today we will focus on the fact that he has turned 6!    

My emotions this week have been bitter-sweet..    I admit it.  I know that may not be all together healthy, but he is my last and we are now moving  out of the preschooler stage.   That can bring serious sorrow to a mother's heart.   But, alas time moves on and we just need to enjoy every day.. So today we celebrate with love this wonderful son!  

He is the apple of our eye...  

 and has allowed us to enjoy the magic of HIS childhood a little longer...   

He is full of life and full of joy...   determined to enjoy every moment of each day...

He adores his mama....  and loves to hang out with me..  and we have been great buddies..  

He fit so nicely right there... 

Every day and especially holidays are more fun with this enthusiastic, joyful boy.  What a blessing he is in our family!  

I will always remember how Scott liked to sleep right.next.to.me.  And, he did for years...  

Remember that childhood magic I mentioned? 

My buddy in the kitchen.  

                                        Is that a cute little boy or what? 

Hanging out with his best little friend, Mary and his cousin, Emily.   Being outside, especially in the rain or snow is so exciting and fun!  He loves the outdoors! 

 

Oh why oh why does this boy love sugar so much?  

So Happy Birthday Scott... and here's Six things I love about YOU!

Six Things I love about Scott:

1-I love the fact that Scott LOVES people.  It doesn't matter how old or young you are, Scott is your friend.   

2-Scott has a PLAN.  He knows what he wants.   If you ask him, he will tell you his plans for the day because he has it all worked out in his head.   But, he is also flexible and easy going!  

3-Scott is a sharp cookie.   Give him a complicated lego set and he will patiently work at it and has a great mind for detail.  He is also patient and works through the puzzle with great ease.  He doesn't get frustrated!  Isn't that a great quality for one so young?    

4- He is passionate about whatever he is doing and goes for it with gusto!

5- He is determined to be a part of everything.  Despite being the youngest by  almost 6 years, he has always with such good confidence insisted on participating and being a part of things.   Good for you Scotty!

6- Scott has a great sense of humor and a healthy confidence.   He can take it from his brothers and he can also give it.  

Is it any wonder why we love this boy with all of our hearts?
