Seven just seems so much bigger than six. At six, I could still get away with saying "little boy". But at seven? I am just not sure that seven is little anymore. He no longer asks for toys really... except ok a Nerf gun picked out by his sister WAS really cool...
he wants big kid stuff... like Donkey Kong Country Wii...
and Super Mario Brothers v. 63. Or it seems like they should be on v. 63 since I remember Super Mario Brothers from when I was a kid...
The nice fishing pole from grandpa Perry was MUCH appreciated...
This year Leif decided that he wanted two things - to go to the cabin for his birthday to see his cousins from Boston...
and then a sleepover with three of his friends also "gamers" to play Wii all night, with no parents and no girls allowed.
Leif had requested a three layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a cherry on top. No problem, I thought. Then I took the three round layers out of the oven and Leif looked dismayed, "why are they the same size?" Turns out he wanted a three tier chocolate cake, like a wedding cake with a cherry on top.
Well a knife works wonders... and then *I* got to munch on cake before the actual party.
The other thing that is very important to have when you are seven years old is trick candles!
Because everyone wants their cake covered in spit from the effort taken for blowing out candles for 5 minutes...
Happy 7th birthday Leif!
