My little boy is SEVEN! He had a fun birthday party with great friends. He invited two of his good friends over for a swimming party at the local pool. They started the party at home with some action figure toys for each of them (better than goody bags).
They could of played with those for hours. We had to end their fun and make them get their suits on.
The three swimmers are all ready and set with goggles and all. Love It! It was a super day for swimming, very hot! Jeff took them and Dallin told me after that his friends loved going with Dad because he was so much fun. He would throw them up and into the water. Dallin loves swimming and just recently was able to jump off the diving board because he proved he could swim well enough (that is no easy task, especially for a 7 year old). He would be a happy kid if we went swimming every day.
The pinata. Dallin really wanted a pinata for his birthday. He isn't really a fan of candy, but he is a fan of hitting things really hard.
Waiting for Dad to hang it up. I think I caught them at a unique time because they were never just "standing" around, they were running and play fighting and being 7 year old boys.
Dallin takes a whack at it. We started with a blind fold, but them we just let them whack it - they enjoyed having their eyesight.
I think Jeff took a whack and the boys were all dodging the pinata as it swung back at them. I didn't get a good picture of them scrambling for the candy. They were really mature about it and it was not as crazy as I thought it would be. I think they all enjoyed hitting more than getting candy.
Dallin got day blades for his birthday, they spent the rest of the party having day blade competitions. We couldn't even get them to eat cake and ice cream, they really just wanted to play. Next time, not so much organization - just let them PLAY!
Dallin keeps our life and our family very exciting. He is a deep thinker and asks detailed questions. I am excited to see what he is able to do with his life. He his very compassionate and is almost daily giving away his favorite toys and money to his sisters, especially after he has done something that hurt them. He likes to draw and can spend a lot of time on one picture, he is neat and careful. His handwriting is good as well, he takes his time and makes the letters perfect.
He is adventurous. He says his dream is to live out in nature with wild animals. He climbs trees, really high (and our roof), he jumps and swings and flips and cartwheels. He has good balance and likes to walk across small boards or logs. He is a great bike rider and likes to race his sister (which he can sometimes win). He just learned how to start on his own (his bike is bigger and he always needed help to get started). He is a great swimmer and had strong determination to accomplish his goals (if it is something he wants to do).
He likes animals and is not afraid of them. He would like to train an animal and tried to train a stray cat that came into our yard. He is a fun kid and full of life. He brings so much joy into my life.
