Cason Turned Six!

Cason's actual birthday was on Monday after his party.  We got them up a little earlier for school, to have some chocolate cake pancakes for breakfast, and let him open a couple of little presents we'd saved. He was pretty happy about it all, and about being six.

When they got home from school, he and Paige ran up and Paige started excitedly telling me he was the first kindergartener to learn all of his popcorn words.  He was pretty proud.  

It's the goal for the school year in kindergarten, so it's pretty awesome that he had them all down after a week or two of school. 

Jess came home from work with pizza for dinner.  Tyra stopped by too and we got out the cake, sang to him and let him open the last few presents from us, and the ones Tyra brought.  He was pretty excited to have kind of a second birthday party. 

 He's got quite the dragon collection going, but all the Night Furies are of course his favorite.

 

 (Neely and Reed enjoy having them while Cason is at school, too.  Haha!)

 

Cason is still so sweet, and tender-hearted.   Sometimes I worry about him as he grows up, because I know how easily he can have his feelings hurt, and I can't keep protecting him from that.  So far so good though, thankfully he's a likeable fella, and so far everything's been great for him at school.

 He wants everyone around him to be happy at all times.  There's just no way to explain him properly, so I'll just say he's the kindest person I've ever met.  I don't deserve him but I'm so grateful for him and proud of him.  

I can remember so clearly the day I went into labor with him, and holding him for the first time.  Cannot believe this little guy....

..is a six year old!
