My Little Mister-Smoochie-Man is 6.  He’s growing so fast (and becoming so zany).  I can’t really handle it!

Despite all of my Mama Nostalgia (cue weeping), we had so much fun celebrating our boy.  Cause that’s what we Wrights do…

GO BIG.  GO LOUD.  And…EAT A LOT OF CHOCOLATE.

Rise and Shine Birthday Boy!

No, he doesn’t have a king sized bed.
Yes, he slept with his parents the night before.
Because it’s very hard to sleep when you are about to turn SIX!

Morning Hike

In Duke Forest…just me, my boys, and EVERY DANG MOSQUITO BUZZING AROUND THE ENTIRE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.  The boys didn’t seem to mind.  Maybe because I dunked us all in vats of bug spray before AND during our jaunt.

Birthday Lunch with Daddy

At the double–arches–den-of-digestive-blunders that must not be named.

Evening Revelries

Chocolate Pudding + M&Ms + Gummy worms + Oreos + Whipped Cream + Sprinkles = YUM

(And a late bedtime for overly excited Littles)

Did I mention that the Little Mister is a wee bit ZANY?

Next Day…Pullen-Park-Palooza!

With Pinky, Poppy, Paula-Grammie, and P-Auntie Laura!
(You know…when you gotta good alliteration, you just have to Plow on!)

Suffice to say, celebrations for the Little Mister turning 6 were JOY FILLED.

Just like him. ♥

For my charming and beloved Little Mister

on your 5th birthday…

E

Easygoing and joyous, this kid’s not hard to please.
With a shovel or a stick in tow, he’ll find adventure wherever his feet lead.

L

Laughter is his tonic, he loves to smile and jest.
Making others mirthful is what he enjoys the best.

L

Lavish with affection, this boy is full of love.
He’ll cover you with kisses, and then run free with a shove.

I

Ignitable and impulsive, he can go 0 to 60.
This energy fuels his imagination, inspiring him to build anything that sounds nifty.

O

Observant and thoughtful, his smarts will blow you away.
A bibliophile through and through, a great story will always hold him sway.

T

Talkative when he’s comfortable, then he has so much to say.
But he’s most at ease with his animal pals, and could romp with them all day.

T

Tomfoolery is his craft, and mischief is his guise.
He’ll woo you with his impish grin, and the sparkle in his eye.

 

Elliott Michael Wright, we think the world of you.  And we are thrilled to behold the amazing things you do!

We LOVE you!
