Lawson 4 1/2

Half year birthday for Mr. Lawson is here.  The little man has had a lot of changes in the past 6 months and taking them all in stride.  He is growing like a weed too!

One big change for him is school.  Lawson has started his first year of preschool and is doing very well.  He is very quiet about school.  He seems to like it, but has very little to say about it :)  He is not one to come home and want to work on or practice things.  He tends to shut down pretty quickly if we ask him questions about letters and numbers.  His teacher says he does a great job in class though so we will just let it be for now.   He has gotten to make some new friends and likes to go and play.  The highlight of his day though seems to be when he sees Luke at school and gets to wave at him.

Luke going to school all day was another big adjustment for him.  I wasn't sure how Lawson was going to do since he likes to do whatever Luke is doing.  It has been such a pleasant surprise though watching Lawson and Laney's relationship grow.  Those two love to play together and have become so close.

Lawson loves to interact with his baby sister Lexi.  He probably gives her the most attention out of the kids.  He loves to lay down on the floor with her and talk or play with her.  It is the cutest thing.  She gives him the biggest smiles and he just eats it up.  He is a great big brother.

Lawson is our rough and tough kiddo that loves to do any kind of wrestling or tackling.  If you get down on the floor at all you have to be ready for his flying leap on your back.  If he spots you at his level, he is coming at you.

Lawson loves anything dairy.  He requests cheese, milk, ice cream, cottage cheese, macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza, etc... when you ask him what he wants to eat.

He is into animals, super heros, or playing anything outside.  He has a great imagination.  However he doesn't like it when the sun shines in his face so summer should be interesting.  Lawson has started to really enjoy riding his bike and looking forward to swimming this summer.  He loves to have people come to our house to play.  Every morning he asks if someone is or can come over.  Apparently all the siblings aren't enough for him :)

Lawson's personalities goes to both extremes I feel.  He can be the sweetest most caring little guy.  He likes to keep others happy and does whatever when playing with others.  When he gets stuck on a thought though he will hold to it.  He can be very stubborn when in the right mood.   We don't see that side too much but its there.  He is getting more independent and we have loved watching him grow.  His little squinty smile makes my heart melt everytime.
