...is turning 6 today!! Every passing year hits me like a Mack truck. I miss that tiny little baby, but I wouldn't trade each stage following that for anything. Watching my kindergartener this school year makes me laugh, cry and beam with pride on pretty much a daily basis. He is learning so much and is so enthusiastic about every new bit of knowledge. He meets challenges head on and rarely even thinks about giving up on them. His crazy energy level works to his advantage as he has begun to try every sport under the sun! He is starting to really understand friendship and how his actions can affect others both positively and negatively. And his sensitive disposition paired with his hilarious sense of humor charms most everyone engages with.
For the first few years through babyhood and the toddler stage, I was so intent on taking care of him. Now, while his safety and well being is still my main priority, I am also learning to step back and watch as he learns to take care of himself. I'm still trying to figure out how God put such an old soul into such a little body as he thinks through situations and comes back with intuitive questions and conclusions that I'm not even sure is where most adults would end.
Happy birthday, my little man. May six be your best year yet! We love you!
