Not just another day

Today my little guy turned 6. He's been making some changes in the past month or so to prepare himself for the big jump. One very sad example, he will no longer give Daniel or I kisses and when we give him kisses he either tries to dodge them or tries to wipe them off. He's becoming my little man of the house, especially when Daniel is at work. He tells me that he will punch anyone who tries to hurt us.
As the day was passing by I started to think of Cody's birth, developing years, toddler years until now. He's definitely a unique little guy. He was born at 9:55 am and I will never forget that special day and all who celebrated with us. Cody was always a busy body, very daring, loved to climb and got plenty of owies to prove it. He's grown into such an awesome little guy, and it's hard to believe that I have a 6 year old. Some of the ways Cody is unique to us is :

He has his own cell phone and his own keys(phone doesn't actually work but he's always loved phones from the moment he could hold one) He loves to lock and unlock the car before we can and has a special clip on them that he saw Uncle Ryan have.

He's got a (Baby-G shock) watch that he loves and gets so many compliments on it. He's learning to tell time and doing pretty well with it.

He loves to wear his rain boots everywhere with everything. First thing he does when he gets home from school is take his shoes off and if we have to go anywhere...it's the boots he comes out with.

When people ask him what he wants to be when he grows up he tells them that he is going to be a Firefighter and a police man. I don't know how that's gonna work... He has a fire station by his school and he says that station is where he works to make money.

He loves when Daniel brings home his radio from work to listen to the police and fire calls and then will mimick what they say when he plays with his toys. He also has his own pair of handcuffs and a flashlight that he will run around the front yard yelling "get your hands up", and "STOP RESISTING" among other things he's heard on the TV show COPS.

These are just a few things that came to mind when thinking of the funny things Cody does. Life would not be the same without his love and comedy!

We decided to have a very small party at Chuck E. Cheese for him to celebrate his birthday. He had a great time playing all sorts of games and loved getting his birthday crown and medal.

It's been a healthy and happy 6 years and can't imagine life without him.

Here's to my little man, Happy Birthday Cody!!

Another round of holes

I've had another round of holes in my heel due to the same problem I've been having for 9 years...huge plantar wart! The past 4 days have been a bit hard but I have to give my hubby who deserves a big shout out since he had to pick up the pieces. He had 4 days off and did all of the housework, laundry, cooking, and keeping Cody happy while I've been resting my foot. It has been healing nicely and I can almost wear a shoe now. This probably won't be the last time I have this done so those of you who see me limping around...you know what happened.
