Your first year in "all day" school has been wonderful.  You're reading to me now.  I can't believe it.  The last report card your teacher sent home the 1st grade wall words because you've mastered the Kindergarten wall words.  It took you over a week, but you read all of Horton Hears A Who to me just last month.  When you write your numbers for homework we don't start with 1, but with 100 and write all the way to 200!!

You lost your first tooth on February 21st.  At school.  I wasn't there to help you work it out.  You did it all on your own.  Such a big boy.

Your favorite things to do are play your DS or play the Wii.  You've mastered several games I can't even come close to understanding.  You and daddy spend a lot of time working together on your games, and that's great.  You also love to build with your leggos and to set up battles between all your Star Wars guys.

This spring you are playing with the bigger kids in soccer and holding your own.  You run hard, but have difficulty staying on your feet.  That happens to mommy sometimes too.  You've made big strides in your swimming lessons.  At your last lesson Mr. James had you swim 100 meters in 3 different strokes, and you didn't look back.  Flew through it.  I was watching your every stroke from poolside.  So proud of you.

You and your sister are best friends.  Sure there's that sibling rivalry.  There are arguments and disagreements.  There are tears.  There are silly games.  Special story times.  Hugs and loves.  You know it, you love her.

Mr. Silly has not gone away.  Toots and burps are particularly funny.  Sometimes Mr. Silly gets in trouble.  He doesn't like to listen very much.  But we put Mr. Silly "in a box" and give Jeffrey a big hug.

I can't wait to see all our adventures we will come across in the next year.  

And now....let's look back at our Big Man.
