Bobby 6

Last month was someone’s birthday. In spite of my better judgement Bobby decided he will turn 6. I don't see any point in this, except maybe for getting new toys. But even then, Santa could do that. 

The birthday started early and stayed late. Like all birthdays should. We decided to start the weekend early with a camping trip on Friday. Then on Saturday, Raj wanted to take Bobby boy to the mall and get him a new pair of shoes (and get a couple of legos for himself!). Of course along with the shoes came a large box from the lego store. Nobody was surprised. It was a coast guard ship! Bobby and I took the mall train ride and munched on chocolate.

That evening we met with Varam and Kirthi aunty and Karthik uncle. We went Putt-putt golfing. We all tried our hands (arms) at golfing with varying levels of skills and success. It was fun all the way around. Dinner after that continued the fun, and we returned home with more lego boxes that night. 

On sunday i took Bobby's neighborhood friend, called "Bro" for some reason, and Bobby boy to their favourite trampoline and game area, followed by a lunch at Cici's we all joined at. After stuffing ourselves with fresh pizza, we came back home.

I took Monday off to hang out with Bobby during the day. It was a beautiful spring day and I decided to take both birthday boys - Bobby and Doggo to a park. I was prepared for this of course. I took our Nerf guns!

We had cake cutting and dinner at home, full of sweetness. I continued to insist Bobby should turn 5 again! Still working on that one!
