Well, there is nothing like being eight months late in writing your birthday letter! Thank you for being you! You are so sweet, kind, funny, and tender. You light up our entire family... always with your funny stories or "what if" scenarios.
You still love star wars... your 6th birthday was full of it. As of now, your love is still there but I begin to see it fading a bit. Your seasons of life will always be marked by your passions. I'm praying one day your greatest passion will be Jesus, and that it will be a passion that never ends. You love his Word and talking about God. Looking forward to the day you ask Him into your heart. You've talked before about being baptized, but only so you can take communion at church :)... We are asking you to wait a while until you have a different reason.
You finished Kindergarten like a champ. Mrs. Driggs absolutely loved having you, and always said your smile is what she will miss the most. On your 6th birthday I ate lunch with you at school and she was telling me about how your face has matured and you don't look like a baby anymore. You really are growing.
Now you are in first grade and you love it. You especially love your teacher and your friend Jacob. It is fun to see you doing your best. Your handwriting is impressive and you do such a great job on spelling tests and math. I'm so proud of you, buddy.
In school this year (first grade) you were talking about something that happened while you were saying the pledge of allegiance, and you said, "as I was was pledge-a-elating and I laughed really hard. You also still say "blanklet" for blanket.
You love legos, coloring and drawing (you are very good), and now anything with weapons (guns, swords, etc.). You love exploring the new land in our house and you adjusted to the move beautifully.
We lovingly call you our teenager because you enjoying staying up late and sleeping in. You enjoy eating all sorts of food, but love fruits most of all.
You have sung in two Christmas Cantatas... one last year (age 5) where you were in the front row either singing very loudly or not at all... and you kept touching your private parts.... haha! Then this past time (age 6), you did okay, but you stood right next to a boy who threw up everywhere. For a little while you looked sick too, but thankfully you did not get it.
Last spring we went to Holiday World one day and then the next morning you had your spring recitation at school... you looked SO SLEEPY and we resolved never to take you all on a school night again. You did enjoy riding the rides, though.
So far you've only had the stomach bug once... and that was in October of 2015. You only threw up two times and you insist that is was the pasta I made the night before. I'm pretty sure it was a virus.
As you've gotten older, you have become a bit picky on how things are supposed to be... so we are working on flexibility and reminding you that you are not in charge. We are working on your tone, obeying first time, and having grace too.
You've also been telling wild stories lately and whenever I call you on it you will change your story to "I think that's what happened..." when you said it so matter of factly first. You also told Asa if he touched a wolly worm (or as you called it a "poison ivy worm") that he would die. Asa immediately broke down and cried because he didn't want to die and he had already touched one. You tried to act like you didn't say it, but we all knew you did.
I love watching you grow and learn. I'm excited for what God is going to do in your life this year. Thank you for being you... I love everything about you.
Mommy
