Austin turns 6!

Austin turned 6 on April 9th.

Birthday breakfast

Ready for school

Opening presents from Mom and Dad after school

Transformers

His smile here looks forced, but he was actually very excited about the Nascar game for his V-Smile. Little does he know, we are sneaking learning into his Nascar time. This game teaches adding and spelling, I believe.

Finally, a Zurg to go along with his Buzz and Woody from Toy Story!

Birthday ice cream instead of cake

(we saved cake for the following weekend for his party)

And that evening, Dad had to go to work, so we had a movie/game night. We played every kids game that we own (some of them more than once.) That was at least 20 different board games and card games.

We have since turned this into a Friday night ritual (though we don't play ALL the games each night, just one or two.) And we watch a movie of Austin's choosing and hang out on the couch bed and eat popcorn. Then Austin gets to sleep on the couch bed, which he loves.
