Graeme started his 6th year off with breakfast in bed (Baba and Poppa's bed!). He was too excited to eat much of his sandwich, so we quickly brought in the presents and the fun began! He was so pleased to receive MarioKart for the DS, Lego StarWars for the Wii and some Lego kits. But he saved the kisses for the humongous PlayMobil castle that Baba and Poppa gave him! Daddy happily left for the office and Poppa and I went to work assembling the behemoth! Hours later and it was ready for play!
Graeme invited his class to his birthday party at Nicki's...a jump around and slide down until you're red and sweaty kind of place. Graeme sat in the place of honour and entertained his guests with his silly antics. It was two hours of non-stop action and Kris and I jumped for joy when it was done! We had survived another party!
Graeme has impressed us so much these last few months with his ability to adapt to the changes we've had. He can handle the school week much better now, and his reading has taken off like a shot. He starts soccer this week (I must remember to have him try on his cleats!) and he's pumped about it. He's grown so much that the clothes he was wearing when we first arrived are now being put away in the cupboard for good. His hair has grown as well...haircuts for boys cost between $30-45 here, and we're reluctant to part with the money! Plus, we like the disheveled look! Graeme is still playing with our neighbor, Sophie, on a daily basis. They have managed to set up a communication system that works for them...Graeme play? Graeme play Sophie's house? She's a spunky little girl, and I think Graeme has met his match!
