Happy Birthday, Ramsey! #8

When I was a kid, I wanted to have my birthday during the school year, so I could celebrate with my entire class.  Being a June baby, that was never the case.  

Ramsey's birthday fell on a Monday, so he was thrilled to be able to enjoy his birthday at school!

He wore his favorite comic book T-shirt (Dog Man), and made sure he had everything he needed. 

He asked for chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.

We had cookies made by a friend of mine who has a home-based bakery.  They were adorable iced sugar cookies with a Minecraft theme.

At school, his teacher took this picture of Ramsey.

Ramsey took presents to his classmates for his birthday; Minecraft mechanical pencils.  

This kid... so much has changed in one year; back to school, new friends, getting so much taller, the love of learning, zest for life, and the social and emotional growth.  Fantastic stuff!

So.... down to Ramsey's birthday stats:

Stats:

    Height: 4' 1.2" 

    Weight:   54 lbs

    Number of Teeth Lost: Still only the lower two, though one lower side tooth is wiggly.  And, at the last dental cleaning visit, the hygenist told Eric that the top FOUR could go at about the same time - supposedly just "one little string" holding them all in place.     Sidenote: Ramsey does NOT want to lose his teeth and wants to keep his baby teeth FOREVER.
