This year Marcus' excitement over his birthday was nothing short of palpable. Weeks leading to the day there were conversations that sounded a lot like this: "Mom, guess how old I'm going to be in two weeks?" "Mom, only ten more days till my birthday." "Mom, my birthday is coming up!" I love the excitement, but I wish time would slow down.
- American Ninja Warrior Kids is life. So much so, we now have a ninja obstacle course mounted in our garage.
- Baseball is the sport of preference. Catcher is where he seems to thrive.
- Grilled cheese, hot dogs, and pizza are culinary masterpieces in his mind.
- School is his favorite place to be. Science and math are classes he enjoys most.
- Reading is high on his list of favorites.
- Marcus' manners are second to none.
- Sweet, compassionate, and caring best describe him. He cares so deeply for others, and wants everyone to be happy.
- Dad Jokes are his very favorite, and he fails to nail the punch line 10 times out of 10.
- Although Marcus loves a good Dad Joke, and enjoys being silly, he's still very much one of the most serious and literal children I've ever known.
- Marcus is the best big brother, even with the constant barrage of little sister annoyances.
- It's becoming more and more rare to have him reach for my hand to hold. But, night time snuggles and bedtime stories are still going strong.
- His giggle is contagious, and no matter how often I hear it I can't help but smile, and my heart soars with overwhelming joy.
I'm not sure what I did to deserve such a great kid, but I sure am thankful he's mine.
Six was good. Really good. Six seemed like a real, nice, sweet spot. But I truly think seven might be even better.
