The Big 6

Caedmon, 


My sweet boy, where has the time gone? Didn’t we just bring you home from the hospital, all 6lb, 15 oz of you?

 

This year -

~ You grew 2.5 inches, gained 4 pounds, and your feet grew at least 3 sizes.

~ You made the transition from Disney Cars to everything Star Wars. You love legos, video games, swords and guns.

~ You left Preschool behind and moved on to bus riding, full day Kindergarten.

~ You went from knowing your ABC’s to writing words, making sentences and reading, to discussing realism and fantasy. You “school” me at least once a week.

~ You’re a proud author of three books that you have written at school and you remind of us this every chance you get.

~ We’ve seen a different side of you this year, one that we’re more proud of than probably anything else - You’ve befriended a little girl in your class who is wheelchair bound. You eat lunch with her and you compliment her and you don’t even realize the difference you are making in her life.  You are just being you.

~ You continue to love your "gigi" blanket and we often still find you sucking your thumb after you’ve fallen asleep.

~ You’ll eat most anything, but still have an affinity for anything sweet and chocolaty.

~ You’re the best brother to your little sister. You get frustrated with her at times, but I’ve witnessed you many times with your arm around her, or the two of you snuggling on the couch.

If this is who you are at age 6, I can’t imagine the man you will be at 26.

Happy Birthday Caedmon!

With love,

Momma, Daddy and Sav
