When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three,
I was hardly Me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,
I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever.
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
A.A. Milne
Happy Birthday my dear little one, yes six is a good age to stay at.
I bought him an old copy of Now We Are Six for his birthday, and I think my husband's family thought I was weird. Oh well. Six is hard for me; like he crossed some invisible hump that makes him a "kid" now and not a little boy. Know what I mean? We have the Batman birthday party this weekend, I promise pictures. I'm going to attempt a Batmobile cake - old school with the red pinstripe. Wish me luck...
When I turned six I was convinced that I had to memorize that poem and recite it at my birthday party. My parents thought it was cute, but a little weird.
Congratulations on the big milestone for your little guy.

Good luck and Happy birthday to your new six year old.
My son just turned six in April and I know exactly what you mean ~ where did this big boy come from. Before I know it there will be a 10 year old standing there!
