Wild One!

My Wild One,

It has been a wild few months with you! You've had a few trips to the ER, ridden a pony, started pre-school, learned how to ride your bike with training wheels, and kept us laughing throughout it all!

The trip to the ER was pretty easy with you! You are such a little scrapper and a trooper...but we did learn that you HAVE to have Mommy when you are in those situations and you are just like your Daddy when it comes to blood (you can't stand it!). You ended up with 7 stitches and we now know when you're on the swing in the backyard, the gate has to be closed! We ended up there again a week later because you fell while trying to climb up a slide (even though I'm always harping at you to use the stairs or ladder) and broke your wound open a bit. There was nothing they could do for you, but your over cautious Daddy felt better knowing we took you!

You seem to be loving school this year! Ms. Beth and Ms. Amanda are you teachers and you are making some nice friends (Jake, Caleb, and Jack). I also know you hang out with your brother and his friends on the playground too (so precious)! I think music with Ms. Ann is your favorite thing at school. You know all the words to the songs and you walk around the house singing! We love it!

We just got back from a little family weekend to The Cowboy Cabin in Marthasville, Mo. You loved every minute of it, but being fascinated with fire, you especially loved helping Daddy make the fires! You are not afraid of it, which makes me very afraid! We hiked, biked, grilled, and played and enjoyed making family memories! You were more snuggly and loving than normal (which is a lot!), so we knew you were HAPPY!

I love you!

Mom
