We had an old school backyard birthdy party for Riley's 6th birthday. We had pin the tail on the donkey, a pinata, a craft, pizza, cake presents and a REALLY fun game of musical chairs. I guess a lot of kids haven't ever played musical chiars and they were all singing and dancing even after they were out! It was almost called off because Luke had a high fever on Friday. I took him to the doctor and he said it could be the flu or some other virus, but they don't do the 'flu test' anymore and to just treat it like anything else. So I asked if it would be responsible to have a 6-year-old's party if we kept the little kids out back and kept poor Luke upstairs AND sprayed all the hard surfaces with bleach. The doctor said "That sounds reasonable" and reasonable is good enough for us!
The most memorable part was later that night. Riley has had his first loose tooth for awhile now, but he's been wiggling it a lot trying to get it out by his birthday. Well, while we were getting jammies on at like 9:00 he says "look at my tooth!" and it was just hangin' there. I told him to just pull it out but it had one spot that wouldn't let go... So I went for the floss, you know, to tie to the door knob. He pretended to be scared, but he let me tie the floss to his tooth so he couldn't have been too afraid;-) The darnedest thing happened though... it fell into my hand while I was trying to tie it up! So Riley lost his first tooth on his 6th birthday, how cool!
