Our sweet little man is now five. I have read that many cultures have celebrated five years with a coming of age ceremony and I can see why! Drew has changed so much in the last few months it is incredible. His insecurities have become opportunities to be brave, his sense of humor has deepened and he can truly crack us up. He is really into Cubs baseball and now will watch and follow even when Val is not. He is so empathetic and although this has not changed, it is so enduring coming from his five year old self. He is inquiring about words and numbers and letters and emotions and plans and cooking and politics and current events more than ever and it is a pleasure to talk with him on these subjects. He is a baby lover and has such a calm and wonderful persona with the little ones. We are really having fun reading chapter books and lots of non-fiction(preferably about predator/prey relationships). He is a nature lover and just this morning ran into the house excited with the news that the calendula was blooming. He teaches Nora so many things and she is his biggest fan. I am so proud of him. The man that he will be is evident even now and I know he will be an asset to our world.
He even puts his socks on by himself!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW!!!!
