This past week you turned 6 years old. I keep calling you "baby".... sorry about that. You will, though, always be my baby.
You flew through Kindergarten this year, making a ton of friends along the way. We are so thankful that you had an easy and fun year, and I cannot believe it's almost over.
You are still the cuddler in the family - you love to sit on laps, be hugged, be held, and climb into our bed - every. single. night. But when you wrap your arms around my neck and lay between us, we smile and let you stay, because we know you are growing fast and you won't be there forever.
One of your favorite things to do is make people laugh (although it does get you in trouble sometimes). Whether you are sticking your booty out and dancing, singing "Hey, suxy lady" (that is how you say it), or singing funny songs - you are a silly boy.
You are also very sensitive and have a very soft heart. Words affect you deeply, as does a loud voice, and we have found that the best approach with you is to be gentle and patient. When your feelings are hurt, it can affect you all day, and it takes a lot of hugs and reassurances to help you smile again. That shows us that you are deep, and your love for others is just as deep, too.
We are proud of the boy you are becoming, and the life and joy you bring to our family. Your innocence is inspiring, your wonder at the world makes us stop and breathe it all in. When you find a roly-poly and yell, "Mom, I found another Jaden-poly!" or when you see a bird outside and say, "I named him Blackie!" or when you see a friend crying and go to comfort him, we see your heart.
