The Lego Movie 2 came out the week before Shae's birthday. We knew we were going to take advantage of seeing it while here no matter what, but it was extra fun because we made it the official kick off of birthday week for Shae. When we got close to the theater we blindfolded him and made him guess where we were going. He was pretty sure it was the Lego movie, but then kept second guessing himself. As soon as we walked in the theater he announced, "I smell popcorn! I knew it! The Lego Movie!"
As if we didn't get enough stares already, let's blindfold our kid and walk around Jakarta.
The new 6 year old smile is all about no teeth showing.
The day of his birthday he opened up some birthday cereal.
She was pretty excited about the birthday cereal too. These kids are getting a little tired of oatmeal and eggs. (I on the other hand, love it and hope we eat oatmeal and eggs for the rest of forever--and granola :).
We explained to the kids that we would be doing birthday experiences this year for their gifts since we already have Christmas toys to squeeze in to our luggage (although we did cave and get him a little lego set and I had grabbed 2 beanie babies my brother was getting rid of to give them at some point as well, so he also got a little beanie baby hippo--Tubbo).
After discovering a bowling alley close to our apartment, Shae decided that that was what he wanted to do for his birthday. Along with McDonalds for dinner, because "then I'll get another toy." We met up with Darin on our way to the bowling alley. We all think it's hilarious to see him wearing his mask (although glad he does it in hopes of protecting those lungs just a little).
Stopped for a few bday pics on our walk over.
And then to bowl! The bowling alley was puh-ritty ghetto. The balls were covered in scratches and the lane seemed to have some weird lumps in it, as our balls would randomly turn while moving straight on till morning for a strike that never happened. Still fun for the kids and that made it fun for us.
Another ice cream cake for this ice cream loving boy. We did it Oreo style. Crushed Oreo crust, then layered chocolate, vanilla, chocolate ice cream. He decorated the top with some more Oreos and a few Pokemon.
Convinced him to flash me those pearly whites.
From my instagram post:
Belén is convinced he's still 5, "But guys, he's not taller. Or bigger. He's still the same! He's NOT six." It's hard for me to believe too. He's soft-hearted, passionate, and thoughtful. He's a rule follower and a budding baseball lover. He's a Pokemon/Lego expert. He dislikes just about every food these days ("It tastes better in Ithaca"). Audiobooks and stuffed animals spark deep joy in his heart. And he really truely is 6 😱.
We sure do love this kid.
