Hunter Lane : 6/16/06
5! Really? I am in disbelief. Of my 3 boys, you are the hardest to explain. You are truly one of a kind. Hard headed, stubborn, free willed, and just funny. You will never understand just how much I love you. When you look in the mirror, you will see a lot of me. When you look at who you are, you will see your Dad. Almost every reason that made me fall in love with your Dad, you have. The ability to be a complete pain in the ass, and still make me laugh at the same time is pure talent.
You are so smart...brilliant. You have been READING for several months now!!! At 4 you could read! You can count like a pro with just a little help with the next tens place. You can sort by more than one attribute. Patterns are, as you say, easy peasy. You have always been a great at coloring and have great handwriting for your age. Still write some things backwards but we are working on it. I am so so so proud of you. You start Kindergarten August 1st at Iroquois Point Elementary! So excited! You ask almost everyday how much longer you have.
Next week is your last football game this season. You have been so awesome! Until just this past game, your team was undefeated. You have scored several touchdowns and pulled more flags than I can count. Truly amazing! When you get out on the field, you put your game face on. It is so incredible to watch. You are in your zone. Other parents are constantly telling us how awesome you are and how fast. We have nicknamed you Dash. :) Again...I am so proud of you! You are still in karate. It has taken you a while to get motivated. We are hoping to test for the yellow belt at the next exam. Swim lessons are next followed by soccer in August. Have to keep your wild self busy!
We have some difficulty with you understanding how to be a nice friend and little brother. We really need to figure out how to keep our hands to ourselves. Sometimes you just get in a mean mood and you refuse to be reasoned with. You are getting better though. I am learning to keep calm and take you aside and having a quiet talk about why you are mad. Even Mommy has some things to keep working on. ;) A part of me loves that you are hard headed. Shows me that no one is going to push you around. I believe with all my heart that you will go after your goals in life. That is so so so important to me. Settling for less is just not your thing.
Favorites...hmmm. You love lasagna, taco soup, Taco Bell, pizza, meatloaf and corn on the cob. Blue is of course the best color. You are so excited about Cars 2 coming out. We are going this weekend for a late birthday activity. Batman is currently you favorite hero. You love to do tricks on your 2 wheel bike and love riding your scooter too. You are wearing XS/S shirts and 4T/5 pants. Skinny thing!
