And now he is 6 and getting older by the minute! He is a growing boy! He measures 44.75 inches tall which is a 2 inch growth from last year!
So this year for his birthday, we asked him if he wanted a party or to go see the Harlem Globetrotters with his basketball buddies. Of course he chose the Globetrotters, which is fine by me! So in a couple weeks we will do that. Jake just finished up his first basketball season. He played with his two neighborhood friends and Brian was a coach. A true test of patience for Brian and he did great! Now he will start coach pitch baseball on Saturday. No Brian is not coaching baseball, I can't imagine anyone having the patience to throw a ball to 6 years olds over and over, willing them to hit it.
He is doing great in Kindergarten. He gets report cards now and they have been stellar. Reading is his best subject. He flies through the words and now asks if he can just read silently to himself. But that might just be a way of getting out of doing his homework! He can be sneaky!
Avengers (Captain America especially) are his favorite thing these days. He is really starting to get into Legos...which frustrate him but he keeps trying. They are hard! The family got a Wii for Christmas so he likes the racing games and Mario Bros. He is definitely looking forward to some warm weather so he can get outside with some of his birthday and Christmas presents. He got some planes that loop around in the air and they have fascinated him lately.
Jake has been such a blessing to us. He is funny, smart, kind, competitive, sweet and even loves his sisters! Yes, he gladly kisses and hugs Grace every night! We love you Jake! Happy Birthday Buddy!
