"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

Derek's New Favorite Number is 6

Now that Derek is six, his new favorite number has changed from 5 to 6. Derek's actual birthday was on Sunday and was pretty low-key. He woke up to the traditional streamers hanging in his doorway and sign on the door. We went to church where they sang to him and gave him a crown. We came home and ate our usual nachos, but by calling them "birthday nachos" it made it a little more special. We also let him choose the chip with the most cheese. :) He chose taquitos for dinner which was more than okay with me. Super easy, since they are the frozen variety. :) After dinner we had cake and presents.
Derek has a funny thing with his feet. We think they are just super, ultra-sensitive. He freaks out when we try to clip his nails and don't even think about giving him a foot rub. Because of this sensitivity, he LOVES getting new socks. I think we all do though. But I just think it's cute that a 6 year old is already in love with it. So we bought him a pack for his birthday.
Yes, that is cake number 2! Lucky kid. He had asked for a chocolate Batman cake months ago and no one wants to disappoint their child on their birthday. :) When I showed him the cake with just the Batman symbol he said "it's perfect". Then I showed him the cake with the border and he said "oh, now it's more perfect!".
