On January 12, Cohen turned 6 years old. For his special birthday, we decided to go against the traditional birthday party and took him on a 2 day adventure to the snow. We went ice skating, tubing, made smores by the fire and just enjoyed being together as a family. I know he was a little disappointed by the fact that he didn't get to celebrate with his friends, but I haven't gotten to know a bunch of the parents yet, and I still am not in to the big party thing, so I pushed for this. On his actual birthday, Steve was able to take him to EA sports, where they make all the sports video games and they toured the place where the games are made and even got hooked up with 2 new games each and awesome hats. We went to dinner that night at Boudin, his choice, and had cake and gave him his gifts. The big gift was the trip to the snow. He also got a new suit, angry birds, and sticky gloves for football.
So here are a few things about this sweet 6 year old boy that I want to remember:
Height: 51 1,4"
weight: 56 lbs.
Loves: video games, iPad, sports, playing with his brothers, giving hugs and loves, and dogs (really wishes we could get one).
He is almost always willing to be talked into playing whatever Landon is wanting to.
He has started playing baseball and soccer and loves both.
He can be highly emotional and occasionally I have to remind him that it is NOT ok for a 6 year old to lay on the ground and kick and scream when he is upset.
He loses his temper when pushed past his threshold and is willing to admit when he has. Still loves to snuggle and love on everyone.
His favorite food is Caprese salad.
He has a tiny lisp that manifests when saying his S sound.
He is truly the most laid back of the boys.
He is not great at trying new foods, and tends to be hard to feed.
He seems to like school, but would be perfectly happy to stay at home.
He knows his letters pretty well, with an occasional backward letter.
He knows his sounds and is starting to sound things out.
He knows about 25 of the sight words.
He can write his numbers 1-30 (maybe even more, but we haven't tried).
Can count by 2's to 20.
He can get frustrated at home with the school work, but he does fine at school.
He is wearing a size 3-3.5 shoe and is only about 1 size behind Landon.
He has the biggest heart and is always a pleasure to be around.
