My Six-Year-Old Boy

My boy...



...has been six years old for an entire month now.

...is a fantastic speller. His teacher recently told us that she's never seen such a good first-grade speller. Will says he "takes pictures" of the words and then sees them in his head. Huh.

...still says his favorite food is lemon. He has loved lemons since he first tried them at 18 months old!

...loves to be outside and hike, but only if the weather's not too hot.

...reads non-stop! He loves books. His current faves are Junie B. Jones and his Children's Encyclopedia.

...loves to play Monopoly. His strategy is simple: buy all the properties you can afford and build on just one color at a time. It works well for him and he wins a lot.

...finally loves soccer now that the weather is a bit cooler. He can't wait to play in the first game of the season tomorrow night!

...is a goofball, especially when he and his brother play "Pookies," which is a crazy-silly game they made up.

...thinks doing math is fun.

...is a sweet, loving, sincere, earnest, sensitive, smart, wonderful little boy.


My boy is one amazing six-year-old!
