Like every year I love thinking back to the day you entered our world. You showed me how a momma's heart just grows with love. We had left your gender a surprise, but I think your dad and I both knew that another little boy is just what we needed at the time.
You must have grown a lot recently because everyone comments on how tall you have gotten. I do notice that you are losing that baby roundness as I look back at pictures. You are still our solid little man.
Your personality is coming out more and more with each passing year. You go from our rough and tough little man to the sweetest big brother to our sisters. I wouldn't call you my sensitive son, but have started to show a little more sensitivity recently. You especially don't like when anyone laughs at you for any reason, even when its just that you did something funny. We are trying to help you understand the difference in people laughing with you :)
You have started preschool and seem to be enjoying it. You have made some new little friends there. If I ask what you do your response is always that you played, never much more detail than that. I try to ask questions which works sometimes or you just say you don't know. You go in and come out smiling everyday though so atleast you are having fun.
Playing wise you still love your animals and dinosaurs. You have added an interest in superheros though. You especially like batman and superman, lucky for me because I don't know much about superheros... yet. Your favorite show is "Lion Guard." You tackle Dad right away when he walks in the house. Whenever we play football or practice catching the ball you just want to tackle. If you can't tackle you don't really want to play.
Your imagination has grown so much over the past couple of months. I think a lot of this has to do with you learning to play without Luke while he is at school. I love listening to you though and seeing where your mind will take you. You have enjoyed getting to play with Laney as well. She is not always quite agreeable though to your thoughts as the younger sibling like you were. You always went along with whatever Luke said. She goes along with you about 50% of the time :)
As a brother you are a perfect mix. You like to do that boy things with Luke, but are also such a great big brother to your sisters. You want to eat, drink, and do whatever Luke does. You will ask what he thinks first before you answer anything. Watching you and Laney's interaction has changed so much in the past year and you guys have become such great friends. You like to help with Lexi, but not if its something that will take long. Your assistance is good, but short lived. You love to lay down on the floor though and talk with her. It is so cute to watch.
We love everything you bring to our family. You can be silly and goofy when you want or serious and sweet. I enjoy the cuddly moments I still get. Every night at bed you request for me to lay with you for a bit and I just can't say no to that sweet face. I never know when that request will be the last so I have to enjoy them while I get them.
