We have been parents for SEVEN YEARS!?! It seems like a lifetime ago yet a blink of an eye. You are an absolutely incredible boy and seeing you grow and learn is truly such a joy of parenthood!

I don’t even know where to start describing you at this age….but I also don’t want to forget a thing and want to try and write everything down. You wake up usually around 7 AM but mainly just depends on when the sun comes up. You fall asleep in two seconds and usually sleep 9-7. You wake up with the sweetest De Ronde tired eyes, love to snuggle, and always have a great attitude. Depending on the day of the week you usually say you are up and then go watch a show, and when it is a school day it is usually time to get ready. You pick cereal 99% of the time… usually Cinnamon Toast Crunch. You are easy to get ready in the morning and do as your told and get ready for Jack to pick you up.

School is just going incredible. You have because SUCH a great student, love to learn, catching on great, and getting don’t want days off or weekends because you want to go everyday. your teacher Mrs Van Roekel just gets boys so well and has you up and moving and works so well with you. Your buddies are Cash, Jack, and Logan. Your class has 10 boys and 4 girls, a small class for Osky Christian. love brain breaks, math, always know your spelling words, getting way better at memorizing memory verses. now able to read books. Always drawing on all your papers and you get to draw in the morning and bring those home. Got to speak at the Veteran’s Day assembly. your teacher does lots of fun projects with you and you are thriving.

Interested in all things that have to do with the Titanic, Army men, Aircraft Carriers, Air Force, the Hindenburg, and football Chiefs/Hawkeyes. Love love love allllll the coloring pictures of these thing, great at coloring, love to draw all day long, very into crafting of any type. Adore your Legos and make impressive things out of them (battleship pro) always building with Legos, boxes, the couch cushions.
