Happy Sixth, Timothy

By

Timothy turned six a couple of weeks ago.

We have our struggles every now and then, but by and large Timothy is a great kid. I feel really lucky to have him in my family.

Happy birthday, Bud.

Here are a couple more pictures of the big day.

    Happy Birthday, Timothy!! Talk about getting big! He looks more like I remember him in the tooth picture than in the birthday pictures. Could be just the angle, but 6 years old is a real milestone.

    All three of your posts are precious. Timothy can join his second cousin Dallin in the gap tooth club. Did you look at the Robinson's blog showing Dallin and his missing teeth? Sarah is darling--what a beautiful smile--and a big Happy Birthday to Timothy. I can't believe he's six already. Great pictures.

    I cannot believe Timothy is 6 already! Wasn't it just yesterday that my mom was babysitting him and he was 2? Time flies.

    It does seem like Aunt Kathy was his babysitter just a year or so ago. Looks like it was a happy birthday.

    Happy birthday to him! Plus congrats on the missing tooth. I still remember the funny feeling of a loose tooth.

    Happy Birthday! Sarah looks like a cute 3 month old baby. I love that age, it is probably my favorite baby age 3-5 months!

    Hey Mary, I found you through your comment on my blog. It was really fun to hear from you. I can't believe how big Timothy is. And, Sarah is super cute. I'm so happy for you guys. She totally looks like you, so does Timothy. Especially now that he's older, I see it more.

Funny Things Kids Do, Part 3

By marydalene
Jared got out the camera today when we went up to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for a little Easter dinner get-together. When Timothy saw the camera, he said, “Don’t take a picture of me!” “Why would I take a picture of you?” Jared asked him. “Because I’m cute.” ______ Sarah has discovered how to open and close the drawers to my dresser, and she knows that she isn’t supposed to get in them. The other day when I checked on her, she hurried over and grabbed two of my socks that were on the floor and promptly went over to my dresser where she put the socks back in and then tried to close the drawer. She came back and tried again and was successful. And I didn’t even have to say anything to her. She just saw me and went straight to the scene of the crime and tried to clean up the evidence. ______ Timothy loves to read, and so we let him read in bed before going to sleep at night. He’s only allowed to read until 8:30, which gives him about 45 minutes if he doesn’t ...

That Was Exciting

By marydalene
There is something terribly cute, and at the same time terribly sad, about a baby hospital gown. I now have first-hand experience with it, since Ryan spent a day in the hospital on Timothy’s birthday. (Nice timing, baby boy.) Last Sunday, I could tell that Ryan was getting sick. I had hoped, when I saw that Sarah was congested and a little ill, that Ryan wouldn’t catch it, but he did. At any rate, I wasn’t really worried because Sarah was hardly phased by it and I assumed it was just a mild virus. Well, the difference between 4 years and 4 months readily became apparent on Sunday night. Ryan slept half the night in his swing after getting really fussy about his stuffy nose. He slept comfortably once in his swing, so I didn’t really worry. On Monday, he was needy. It made working interesting, especially since he wouldn’t really play on his own. He spent a lot of time in my arms or in his swing. Monday night, I could tell that he was worse, but didn’t know that there was much I coul...

Something Scary

By marydalene
So this year, Timothy decided that he wanted to be “something scary” for Halloween. We threw out the various options, and he settled on a vampire. (“I don’t want to be a doctor again,” he told me, “because of all the doctor jokes I got last year.” Ooooookay.) He was quite pleased with the results, and enjoyed being scary. I chose to be Hermione from “Harry Potter.” (“Hermione’s hair is long ,” a 7-year-old girl down the street told me – as if this means I can’t be her – and I explained that I cut my hair earlier this year and it hadn’t had a chance to grow back yet. She was somewhat mollified, but not quite. She’s as precocious as Timothy sometimes.) But I won some movie tickets at work for my costume, made with much effort and collaboration with Janet (Thanks, Janet! And Jared made my wand, too.) This is the first year I’ve had all the elements completed (skirt, sweater, tie, scarf, robe and wand). And this is probably what I’ll be next year too. So if it looks familiar, that’s b...
