Tam Turned 6!

Tam looked forward to his birthday for months.  He waited patiently (for the most part) through the other two kids' birthdays, so he was pretty hyped up to FINALLY celebrate his own.  We decided to keep it as low key as possible, because the last thing Tam needed on a really exciting day was even more excitement he didn't know how to deal with.  As it was, it was a very rough morning, but he had a great afternoon, enjoyed all the attention at kindergarten, and was pumped to have his little party that evening.  

Tam got a birthday crown from school, and Kate decided to make one for everyone else.

He chose macaroni and cheese for his birthday dinner, and then Grandma and Grandpa came over for cake, ice cream and presents.  It was really fun for him to be the center of attention and to enjoy all the birthday festivities.  The next morning he wanted me to explain in detail exactly when his next birthday would happen.

His new favorite line to use when explaining why he can/is allowed to do something is now "Because I six."
