Our sweet boy! Every single year I’ll say “I can’t believe I have a _ year old boy”. Time just flies and it feels like just yesterday I was headed to the hospital to give birth to the boy who made me a mama first. You are growing up and, honestly, it makes my heart a little sad. I jokingly tell you that you’re breaking you mama’s heart every day, because every day you get a little older.

You are still a sweet boy who cares about how you make others feel. You’re a people pleaser and love to hear when you’re doing well. You still love to snuggle with your mama, and I’ll take it for as long as I can because I know that soon you won’t want to anymore. Right now you love all things Pokémon, Roblox, and Minecraft. You still love your iPad and sometimes it’s a struggle to get you off, but we’re hoping someday you get over it. You love making your brother laugh and he loves to hear you talk.

You’re a smart, smart boy and are an excellent reader. You excel in school and strive to be a good boy everyday, even if you can’t sit still sometimes. You say that Math is still your favorite subject. 2nd grade is going well for you. You love chapter books. This past year you read all of the Dog Man chapter books. Towards the end of first grade you started complaining of not being able to see the board at school, so I took you for an eye exam and you needed glasses. As of April you’ve been sporting a new look.

We try to get you to bed around 8:30pm, but since I have to put your brother to bed timing sometimes gets tricky, so you’re usually in bed between 8:30-9:00pm. On school days you wake up at 6:45-7:00am, but on the weekends sometimes you’ll sleep until 9-9:30am. You still prefer to sleep in our bed, and sometimes we’ll let you. If we don’t you always say “I haven’t slept in your bed in a long time”, which often is not true. We think it’s hilarious. At bedtime we read the bible and sometimes you’ll read a book.

We’ll likely be losing this topic after this year. You only have one baby tooth left to lose. You lost your teeth quick. You might need braces but we are still evaluating that and waiting for your dentist to confirm.
Happy Birthday, our handsome boy! Mommy and daddy love you beyond words. I pray that you continue to grow into a God fearing young man that you are becoming.
