Makin At Six

Makin, you are a wonderful combination of sweet, smart and funny.

You are still a natural at most things you attempt.

You love to learn new facts. You love us reading your Weird But True fact book.

You are having fun constructing with Legos more than ever.

You enjoy activities that require lots of energy and usually like a challenge...usually because sometimes you are just in the mood for things to be easy. :)

You love to whistle.

You have good discernment and I'm proud of your ability to lead at a young age.

You come up with really good questions. I am so thankful for Google!

Left: Rigged up a way to open his door from his bed.
Right: A bird, which involved a towel, clothespins, mittens (to have the wings attached to his hands)
and later attempting to fly...but Mom and Dad had a few too many rules for that to work out.

He likes to organize cars during quiet time sometimes.
Yes, they are organized by color.
And yes, he has way more under his bed.

Quotes:

"I prayed that my shoes would shrink." (After his sister got new shoes with laces...)

(Lorelei did something silly and I joked, "You need some coffee!")
L: I can't wait for coffee!!!
Makin: You know she is just being sarcastic.

"Can we just sleep in our swimsuits?" (Waterpark afternoon and pool plans the next morning.)



M: Did you like my Fasty (character in their made-up stories) stories?
Brad: Yes, I did.
M: My stories are like #1 readers. (Shorter than Brad's stories!)

(Husking corn.) "I want mine to be hairless."

Nana: If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?
Makin: Um...probably Top Golf.

(Discussing the control tower at the airport...)
Me: How do you think they get up there?
Makin: I think they use trampolines.

(As I'm putting him to bed around 7:15...) "Can I have a midnight snack?"

"Lorelei's being really irresponsible."

(Tired at bedtime and crying, explaining why he doesn't want Brad to read him Green Eggs and Ham...) "He doesn't read it with strong feeling!"

(10 hours into our road trip)
"Stop it! Lorelei's touching me just to get an attitude out of me!"

(Lorelei was requesting our neighbor come to play again, I told her no...)
"And you are not going to let her bug you into it right?" (instead of talk you into it...so fitting!)

Lor: Could you turn off the light in the laundry room? That's wasting electricity.
M: (Turns off laundry room light, then turns off the light in the bathroom, where L is currently brushing her teeth.) That's wasting electricity!

You often say, "Thank you, thank you a thousand times!" when we do something you really appreciate. The other night you even added, "No, thank you infinity!"
