Dino Dude

How is it that I have a son who just finished 4th grade already? I really cannot believe that he will be in 5th grade next year! He is such a joy to be around and a blessing to our family. His baby sister loves him so much and looks up to him. She will call for him, take him books or just get in his face when she wants his attention. And, he is so sweet about it, taking time to read to her or look at whatever she is trying to show him.

He is our one child who is really NOT a morning person. If he has to be up before 8a.m., he has a very difficult time waking up. Today was our first day of summer vacation, so we decided to let him sleep in as long as he wanted. He read in bed until 10:30! Speaking of reading, he still loves to read! The last book I had him read for the school year was Swiss Family Robinson, and he seemed to enjoy it. I plan to put together a Summer Reading List for him, sometime this week. (I know, I am a terrible mom.)

Right now he is playing Star Wars on the PS2 with Daddy (the other kids got sent to bed early for their behavior). I am having so much fun watching them have some Father-Son fun together.

Anyway, I really just wanted to say how proud I am of the wonderful young man he is becoming. I love hearing how well he knows Scripture. Not just the verses he has memorized, but also how great he is at thinking of which stories relate to other things we are talking about. I pray God will continue to guide his path and that he will grow more and more in knowledge of Him.
