My sweet Wessy Bug,
Your 6th birthday is your self proclaimed triple golden birthday. It's widely acknowledged that turning 6 on the 6th makes it your golden day. You noted that you have 6 letters in your name, creating a third layer to the magic of this particular year. We spent the weekend in Suncadia to celebrate and it was a wonderful time together as a family.
You love playing Minecraft, doing LEGOS, baking, being outside, remote control cars, riding bikes and drawing. Your art is one of my all time favorite things. You're frequently presenting daddy and I with pictures you've drawn or leaving little illustrations on my bed for me to find. You travel with your notebook so that you can doodle in the car or on vacation. You like watching someone else play Super Mario Oddessy on Netflix. In UNO, if you have good cards and know your victory will make for a short game you hold them back to keep it going, you'd rather keep playing than win.
Your chubby baby days are behind you and you're suddenly long and lean. The doctor was concerned that you were too slim at your last appointment, which is laughable because you were such a massive baby. You are a foodie and enthusiastic about which entrees you enjoy. Your favorite dinner is chicken and rice, mainly because of the rice. You're always willing to take an adventure bite and "joey!" means that you like it.
You love school and consistently try your best when it comes to your work. We got your first report card a few days after your birthday. You did great but I noted a "needs improvement" in the following school and classroom rules section. My first thought was it had to be a mistake. You are such an obedient child I couldn't fathom you not adhering to the rules. When I followed up with your teacher she said you often talk when she's teaching or when you're supposed to be working silently. Oh okay, that makes sense. You never stop talking.
A friend recently told me that middle children make the best spouses and thinking of you I emphatically agreed. Being loving, kind, silly and accommodating will serve you well no matter your age. You tell me every night that I'm the best mom in the whole world and you couldn't have any mom expect me.
Thinking back to the day you were born there are so many traits that have been there all along. You've always been willing to go with the flow and quick to joy. This is a signifcant year as you're spending more time with your peers and less time with your family. I pray that no matter how hard it is to be in the world you can always return home to a space of true love and belonging. You are such a special part of our family and I love the six year old you with all that I have and all that I am.
Happy Birthday, my sweet Wessy bug! May your 6th year be full of loving and learning.
xoxo,
Your Loving mama
