Happy Birthday AJ! May 16th

(Sorry this is posted late, it took me a couple of days to get my thoughts together!)

Dear AJ,

     I can't believe that you are 6 already.  It doesn't seem like 6 years ago I was bringing you home from the hospital for the first time.  You have grown so much this year.  

You joined your very first sports team.  You loved t-ball!  You learned how to watch the ball when it was hit, to somewhat field a position, to hit a ball off the T and run, and to follow directions given by your coach.  

You are still kind and sweet.  Your love for Nash grew more and more.  You are so kind to him and he returns the kindness to you.    You make sure to say good morning and good bye to him.    You get really upset when we come home and Nash doesn't greet you.  It is so sweet!  Remember to always be that kind to animals.

We started going to Home Depot and Lowe's kid workshops.  Every couple of weeks we build a new thing.  It has been a fun family activity to do and you are getting better and better at building the different things.

The most exciting thing that happen this year was you started Kindergarten.  You have learned so much!  Not only are you loving math, you are also loving reading.  You are learning how to be a friend and everything that comes with that.  It has been fun and scary watching you grow!

You are starting to try new things and deciding whether you like them or not.  :)

You are such a sweet and sensitive.   You wear your emotions on your sleeve.   You have such a kind soul.

This year has been a fun year and I can't wait to see what the next year brings!
