my boy is growing up!
Charlie turned 6 earlier in the month. I can hardly believe he is almost finished with Kindergarten!! It just doesn’t seem possible. I am just amazed at how much he has learned in the past 9 months. His teacher (who is the absolute best!) told me the other day that Charlie comes to school with a smile on his face EVERYDAY and is one of the happiest kids she knows!! How right she is! Charlie has become so passionate about learning in school! He has learned how to read and do addition/subtraction problems. His drawings are amazingly detailed. Most importantly, he has learned how much Jesus loves him. He has also become so excited about playing sports! He is in LOVE with baseball right now! If it is a game night, he comes home from school and immediately gets in his uniform! He often reminds me how he slid into first base and almost took out the first baseman! Oops! I told him to be careful (like any Mom would) and Charlie says, “It’s really cool when you do that, Mom!” Then, he comes home after the games and puts together bases in the house and pretends that he hits homeruns and runs the pretend bases!! Charlie has also made some really good friends at school, and I’m so proud of him for that. Growing up, Charlie has never been the most cuddly/affectionate child. However, lately he has been giving me daily hugs and kisses and occasionally an “I love you Mom” comes out without me having to initiate it first. I guess I’m doing something right. I love you so much Charlie!
3 things…
1. Charlies is pretty much the coolest kid ever.
2. It freaks me out how much he looks like Joel in the second to last picture.
3. Your hair looks really cute in that last pic.
