Yesterday you turned 68 months. You only have one month of school left and I can't believe it! I love to watch you run from the car up to the school with your backpack bouncing behind you. You get what are called BUG Bucks at school. The BUG stands for Being Unusually Good and when you get so many you can get different prizes from the BUG store. For 15 BUG Bucks you can get a Jackling Elementary t-shirt and this past month you decided to save up your BUG Bucks, instead of spending them every week, so you could get a t-shirt. And you did it! I was so proud of you. It was your first experience saving up for what you want.
You are getting really good at reading and spelling and sounding things out. You made all our names out of blocks and thought it was the coolest thing. We got some fun books from the book fair at school - I don't care what you read as long as you want to read. So we got Power Rangers, Lego Star Wars and another Lego book as well as LMNO Peas which I picked out but you and Alex both really like.
You had a great time celebrating Easter. You love decorating the eggs. You love hunting for eggs. You love eating all that candy. Part of me wanted to just let you eat it all at once and make yourself sick so you didn't want to eat any more candy. But I didn't. You got a new suit to wear for Easter and you look so grown up and like we should ship you off to boarding school or something.
You are very creative. You are always making things out of blocks, or your food, or making artwork of some kind. You are obsessed with Angry Birds (even though you've never played the game) and loved helping me make an angry bird pizza for dinner this month.
You are very outgoing and have a lot of friends. You love having people over to play. You like playing in the bathtub with Alex and think it's cool when daddy gives you a bath because he gives you awesome hairdo's!
You are such a great kid and I love watching you grow.
Love, Mommy
