happy birthday cole!

This is Cole.  He’s SEVEN today.  We love him for so many reasons.  He’s celebrating tonight by having a sleepover with two of his best friends.  We had pizza as well as ice cream with whipped cream and sprinkles (Cole’s not much of a cake “fan”).  We currently have the PS2 projected on our dining room wall, and the floor is covered with bean bags and sugared-up little boys (that are starting to not look so little).  We’ll see if anyone gets any sleep tonight!  Cole is such a blessing to our family.  Here are a few of my favorite things about him:

- He’s more of a leader than a follower.  I hope he’ll always be that way and that he’ll lead well.

- You know how some people have secret handshakes?  Well, Cole made up a secret goodnight kiss that he gives me almost every night.  I love it.

- He loves learning and tries his best.  He’s determined and doesn’t give up easily – even when things get hard.

- He loves people and is usually really easy-going.

- He still calls me “mommy” every now-and-then.

- He has a big vocabulary and is very articulate when he talks.

There are many, many more things, but I’m tired and my house is really loud right now!  Happy Birthday to my favorite 1st grader!  We love you to the moon and back!

Such a handsome picture on Cole! But is does make me a little sad. He doesn’t look like a little boy, but a big kid instead! I just love him & Riley SO much. I wish we lived closer so I could spend more time with them. But I CHERISH the time we do have. Have fun tonight! -Nothing “girly” going on at the Dunlap house tonight huh?! :) Love you!

We agree Cole is just as you described & with many surprises.
