Sixlet is Two!

 How can that be?  The little baby born 'the day after Leprechaun Day' (as Faline puts it) is all ready two years old.  While I suspect he will end up quite a bit taller than a Leprechaun, and most likely taller than Honorary Son, his father, he does have reddish hair and mischief in his eyes.

His birthday party was this past weekend.  It was originally was planned for the weekend before his birthday, but he came down with a fever the night before and the party had to be postponed until he was feeling better.  

For the last several months, Sixlet has been obsessed with shoes in all shapes and sizes.  In fact, at Buck's birthday party, Sixlet slyly swiped the brand new pair of Spiderman slippers about two minutes after Buck unwrapped them and he wore them for the rest of the party, until Buck actually noticed.  There was quite a ruckus when Buck asserted his rightful ownership and took them right off Sixlet's feet.

So, when DD1 send out invites to Sixlet's party, she included his clothing and shoe sizes and wrote "he loves shoes and hats".  She even made his birthday cake in the shape of a shoe.



It should come as no surprise that Sixlet received five new pair of footwear at his birthday party: some cowboy boots, some hiking/work type boots, a pair of mocassins, a pair of canvas sneakers, and a set of crocodile 'Crocs'! 


Toothy Crocs

Of course he insisted on wearing every single new shoe during the brief time between opening presents and when his party ended.

Time to try the next pair.
