Jack at 6 Years

Jack had a Harry Potter birthday party this year. 

Opening Hogwarts Lego present from Uncle Sean and Aunt Karen.

Testing out Platform 9 3//4...

Jack graduated from Kinder in June. For the last 3 years he has had a wonderful teacher and class. He will continue to attend Montessori school but will be moving up to the lower elementary side of the school. It will be a whole new experience for all of us. We attempted to get Jack into a local magnet school that seems great and promising but it didn't work out. I am unsure how long we will continue to do the whole private school scene. We never really intended to do elementary school in any private school but it just kind of happened. Jack loves his school and we all have been very happy there so for now it is the perfect place for us. (Luca included who will be moving up to the Early Childhood program in the fall.) 

So Jack at 6 years old: 

1. Is a really good reader and his favorite book is Harry Potter 

2. Likes to eat at Rudy's, Fazoli's, and Cracker Barrel

3. Loves his school and has a great group of friends there

4. Likes to wear Sketchers and Crocs

5. Likes exploring outside and playing with water and dirt

6. Loves going to the country house and hanging out with cousin Penny

7. Has about a zillion legos

8. Gets car sick

9. Enjoys trips to the beach

10. Has a cool connection to my Dad and likes to sit outside and talk to grandpa about plants, cars or anything else that comes to mind

11. Just discovered video games and has been playing Super Mario Brothers on the wii 

12. And is saving his money and seeking out chores for payment to buy either a Nook or the Hogwarts Express Lego set (I am pushing for the nook...) 

Jack's character continues to be one of someone that tries to respect others. (as much as a 6 year old boy can..) He is ultra aware of fairness or the lack there of.. He tends to get his feelings hurt easily and is timid about trying new things. He excels when he is in a comfortable and familiar environment. We thank God for Jack and love everything about him. We look forward to this next year of his life. :)
