A note from Mum

Awwwhhhh! Isn't he just too gorgeous? I'm so lucky to have such a beautiful child (and yes - he's such a good poser too... he will stop mid motion when he sees the camera :)

For his birthday he got a joke kit (fake dog poo, fake vomit, spoon with hole in it, trap chewing gum, gross fake teeth etc.) so lately he's been putting jokes everywhere! O no! I've got a "Cale the menace"... no... it's not that bad - we all pretend to be frightened or grossed out! he he

I was saying to Lance today that Cale is such a kind child... i.e. when he was creating his birthday invite list he said "Mum, I'd really like to invite C. because he never gets invited to any parties and doesn't have any friends, and I think he would like to be invited". Cale is so sweet - especially as he is the most popular kid in his class and the other children look up to him - so it's great that he isn't a bully and is so kind.

Cale even had a 15 yr old who goes to his school, come to his party (he makes friends with everyone!). I was a little surprised that he turned up to a 7 yr old party :) Especially 'cos he was so big compared to the other children, but he had fun and I was pleased that Cale gets on so well with older and younger children.

I went to parent night at Cale's school the other week and the Teacher raved on about Cale... I witnessed some of the other parent interviews and Cale's was definitely the best (in other words - the Teacher didn't say the same thing to all the parents) Cale's always been able to charm the teachers and be the favourite... Some stuff she said was:

• Cale is a lovely child and is very good, he can get impatient but she just slows him down and he takes correction very well. He is very sensitive and doesn't need to be corrected harshly.
• Cale is so clever and actually spends 3 days every week in the higher grade because he is smarter than the other children.
• Cale doesn't even need help with reading because he just got it immediately (I was the same - I pretty much just immediately started reading).
• He is very good at maths and grasps complicated concepts.
• Cale has an amazing memory, where other children forget things - Cale never does. I've always know this as even when Cale was young he never lost anything because he always remembered where it was... he still remembers when he was a baby and will bring things up months later (we have to be careful what we say around him because he never forgets! :)
• Cale got all A's with his grades.
• Cale loves art and is always drawing... he has such a great imagination and makes the most amazing story books... he draws the best detailed people too. He doesn't like the craft so much - more likes drawing, painting etc. He is also a good writer and has quite nice writing for his age.
• Cale is always happy so long as he is kept challenged... he loves learning and is one of the only children who remains focussed the whole time... he has stamina.
• Cale is of course very good at sports too and is the fastest child at school.
• Cale responds so well to positive comments and praise... she said you can see the little proud smile he gets on his face (I know it well).

There was nothing Cale could improve in and the Teacher said I've done a great job with Cale etc. It was so nice to know that it's not just motherly love... my son is really so special and just so great!

My 7th Birthday Party

Mum & Dad took me to the AMF Bowling Centre and 10 of my friends came to my birthday party! We had lunch first and then went bowling! We had two teams - and I won the most points on my team!

After bowling we had cake and I opened my presents - it was so exciting! Mum gave us all balloons, whistles and party hats - we played star wars with the balloons!

We then played lots of different games and collected tickets to win a prize! I got a glow in the dark Ghost toy with sticky glowing ghost slime in it! We then had party bags to take home. I said bye to my friends and thanked them for the presents!

Mum's note: all the kidz had heapz of fun! The party went for 3 hrs so all the kidz were pretty worn out at the end.

I love dogs

See my friend Gidget the dog who lives with Lance's mum! We love playing together. Mum's note: when we have a bigger house with a larger yard we have promised Cale a dog (the plan is to get a kitten and puppy together so they will be friends :)

Jett's Birthday Party!

This weekend I went to my best friend's birthday party at Kidz Paradise! My friend Jett has recently moved to Broome which is far away so I haven't seen him in awhile. Before he left, Jett was in my class and I also saw him at the creche at Mum's gym too.

We had a great afternoon and Jett loved my present (lego Star Wars plane). There was about 15 other kidz there as well... I knew most of them and we all had so much fun running around and were pretty tired at the end.

My birthday today!

I turned 7 yrs old! Mum and Dad took the day off and I stayed home from school - we had heapz of fun! For my birthday I got a Magnetix building kit, Simpsons board game, glow sticks, craft mug which I can paint, a special remote control kit (which I put together with Lance and now I have my own TV remote control) some pens and a Spiderman suit. Granddad and Beryl sent me some great books which I found in the mail and Lance's Mum sent me a card with $10 whoo hoo! We played games during the day and had Pancakes (my favourite) for lunch. We then went on a long bike ride by the river and I fell asleep before I could eat dinner!

Mum has organised my birthday party at the AMF Bowling centre. 17 of my friends have been invited - I can't wait.

Auskick

Last weekend we played at the footy Gala day in Gosnells. It rained a little but we had heapz of fun. The week prior, I played at an actual Dockers football game (during the breaks) and I kicked 3 goals! I now have 2 excellent awards for Auskick!
