Okay, how did we get to six already? How did we get here so fast? I know the time passes quickly, but I had not idea how fast six years can rush by. I felt like at 5, I could still almost pretend that he was still little. Six, though? Nope, he grown. He knows how to swim under water and ride a bike without training wheels.
He has pushed me to new understandings and helped reshape me and every opinion I thought I had. I know so much more because of him.
He has blessed us in more ways than I know, and he continues to push me and teach me. I am so glad that God gave this boy to me. All his quirks and stubbornness.
He is so smart and inquisitive. He knows all of it and doesn't miss a thing. We have been spelling words for years, but that time is quickly coming to an end.
He is my sensitive soul, and he needs you to choose your words carefully. It all goes straight to his heart, and I hope that the world never "toughens him up." He will be so much better for it.
Last night as he was getting out of the bath, I said to him, "last bath as a five year old!" He smiled and I reminded him that he waited from the time he was three to be five. I asked him if it was all he thought it would be. His response? "Six will be better."
Yes, my dear, it will be.
