Elijah is now an official 6 yr old. It seems every year that the month of March flies by for us. I blink and behold, he is a year older. I know that it has something to do with multiple birthdays, anniversary, and this year a play and homeschool convention. Yet, even though I know it is coming I still feel hit upside the head with the reality that my oldest is well, older.
To celebrate the rush of March and Eli's birthday, here are some pictures taken that help round out the days surrounding the momentous occasion!
The week before his birthday Eli appeared in his very first Shakespeare play. The play was the Tempest and was incredible. I find it ironic that Eli's first Shakespeare play with SMASH was the same play that Tyler and I first helped SMASH with back in 2002. He loved being one of the dogs, and cannot wait to have a part in the next performance!
You may know that in our home we rarely have a large birthday party. That is because we let the boys each choose something fun to do on their special day and whom to do it with. This year, Eli chose rock climbing at the Maine Rock Gym. Ethan, Josiah, Tucker, Tyler and I joined him on his first climbing experience. The boys got as much enjoyment out of watching us "big" people climb as they did out of climbing themselves. Needless to say, they were a little afraid to go high, but are all excited to go back and climb higher when they are a little older!
Don't let the camera angle fool you. They are not that far up; in fact, that blue hold just above Eli's head is about 14 feet off the ground!
Just 2 weeks after his birthday, one bright sunny Easter morning, Elijah lost his very first tooth. Like so many other official 6 yr olds out there he is thoroughly enjoying discovering the interesting things one can do with a gaping hole in one's mouth!
