SIX

Jakob turned 6 on the 27th of October. It is truly amazing he is 6. George and I do the typical parent thing and tell him how we remember when he was so tiny he could fit here or there and how he couldn't talk not that long ago (that's a hard one to believe) and how lucky we are he is here with us.

On his birthday he went to school with a special snack for the class. His school is very rigid about always having a healthy snack and on birthdays they can bring ice cream and fruit. He was so excited. That evening we had a small cake and opened presents. He loved everything.


Jakob is most excited about getting an allowance now that he is six. We debated as to how this allowance would work and came up with a way that worked for us. He will get $3 every Sunday and will divide it up into spend, save and give. He is already planning a trip to the Dollar Store to spend his loot. He decided he could get more bang for his spending buck. I'll keep you up-to-date on his purchases.
