=I love that he tries to 'wrestle around' with Sophie and Carson in an attempt to entertain them, but he's usually the first one to get hurt. Today, after he knocked over Carson, I asked him who's body was the biggest, he said his. I asked him who's body was the strongest, he said Sophie's.
=His reading skills are fantastic. I always worried that it would be frustrating to help him learn to read, but he's doing a great job. He loves reading "Go, Dog. Go" all by himself.
=What I'm not loving? His spy obsession. I didn't mind it until he handed me his Christmas list a few weeks ago and on it was his request for a REAL spy kit and a REAL spy suit. Apparently, the spy kit Santa brought him was not authentic enough. He won't be happy until he gets the REAL stuff.
=He's a great helper at home. He unloads the dishwasher, helps sort and put away laundry, and clears the table after dinner. He's extra motivated when he knows he can earn computer/x-box time.
=For some reason, he still struggles trying to figure out what shoe goes on which foot.
=He loves to play. Whether it's with legos, or his Batman guys, or hiding in his secret hide-out, he's always playing.
=What else am I not loving? He has a mild obsession with scissors right now. At home, all my scissors keep disappearing because he's taken them out to his 'secret hide-out' where him and Tyonna play. They hide out in a bush that has a huge rock inside it and steal my scissors to cut away all the branches that poke them. At school, he's cutting his clothes. He came home twice this week with holes in his clothing. I'm not looking forward to my first parent initiated parent/teacher/student conference this afternoon.
=He is still full of questions which I consider to be both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes, I love when he starts asking questions because it's amazing what he thinks about. Sometimes, it's the most frustrating thing ever. Ninety-percent of the time, I have no idea how to answer him because I either don't know, or don't understand exactly what he's asking.
=His goals for this summer are to build an underground fort, and to convince, and then build a zipline with his dad.

Convince is dad? He is his dad. And even better than his reading skills is the ability he has to size up his opponent. That will take him far in life and his career as a secret spy.
He is seriously such a cutie! He is sooo much like Jason. Its a little scary to think there is more then one of my bone head brother in this world. hehe! All I have to say is PLEASE dont let Jason teach him how to make a homemade blow dart gun when he is a Sophomore in high school. It will not turn out well!!! (I totally love that story) I even just told that story to a few of my friends just the other day. They thought it was quite funny especially when I explained the way it was "remedied". LOL The spy thing must be genetics because it is exactly what my boys wanted from santa ( it had to also be REAL) It was an expensive santa gift. They would have a blast playing with another spy. (he can come play somethime!!!) Take care
What a fun kid. Boys enjoy the funniest stuff I love seeing how different they look at the world.
