Drew is 6-A letter to my boy

my sweet precious son Drew-
you are SIX! holy cow, how did that happen?!?!?
we celebrated your birthday at Chuck E Cheese this year, Star Wars style. your friends from school and baseball came to celebrate with you. you also got to go on a field trip to the FTW zoo on your birthday. mommy got to go and chaperone :) You are amazing in every way. You are smart, you are kind, you think of others, you love Jesus, you are a great big brother and I love spending time with you!
You started kindergarten this year! it was an adjustment (for the both of us) at first. we did lots of kissing hands before drop off, but after a couple months-you learned to love school! you love playing with your friends (especially Cayman), your teacher adores you and you are doing great! (two perfect report cards to date!)
At Six years old you:
-love to color and draw
-love to watch Star Wars movies and the Star Wars Clone Wars series
-play Skylanders giants
-do art projects of any kind
-do playdoh
-play with orbeez since Chelsea and Lexi gave you some.

you have gotten really good at building legos by yourself. You and daddy also enjoy building them together. you have a sweet tooth (bigger than mommy's I think!) and you ask for "a junky snack" all the time! you will be in another room and yell out "hey-does someone want to come snuggle me?" I usually come running in, it's the cutest! you say you want to marry Chelsea or Lexi Wierenga and are afraid if you don't tell them they might find someone else. Adorable. You are a very picky eater. Although you don't nap anymore, you still sleep 11 hours a night. You are doing great at reading. You are very good at math too. Everytime we go out to a store, you ask to buy something. Music and Art are your two favorite specials times at school. in September you got a Star student award for being a great student in Mrs. Shark's class. You got strep throat for the first time Labor Day weekend and staying healthy this year has been a challenge since, seems like you always have a cough of some sort :(


I love you sweet Drew...
I love you more, it's happening!
love, mommy
