Six Years Old

Carter James I can't believe you are 6! You have a such a sweet heart and such a fun personality. You are the first to tell jokes and try to make everyone laugh. You like to do and have what other kids get to do and have. Asking me like when you can have you own phone or video games. You can be very sensitive and get upset very easily, but you also are the first to say sorry when you make a mistake. I love all the different parts of your personality.

You are doing so well in school. We had a few hiccups at the beginning  but now its smooth sailing. At times I think you may be a little bored, but you seem to handle it ok. You are great at your writing and reading more and more everyday. You love to do your homework on the computer and you still are my artist loving to draw and color. Along with doing well in school, you are still my neat child. I never have to remind you to put your shoes away or to get dressed in the morning.When we get home from school the first thing you do is put everything away, I love it.

You love your superheros and are always running around playing some type of imaginary play. That is when you are not jumping on the trampoline. You love to do flips and keep asking to be put in gymnastics.  You still love to watch your shows on disney, but I don't usually get complaints when I tell you its time to turn it off.

You love playing with your little brother and sister. You always offer to dress Nolan and get Olivia out of her crib. And they love you back, Olivia especially loves it when you come around and give her attention. You love to play with Tyler too, and you are always asking him to stop playing football and join you in some adventure. While at times we do hear the occasional "You're not nice" from the two of you, its more common to hear giggling and talking.

You can now ride your bike with no issues, but you still usually gravitate towards your scooter. You love to be out front waiting for dad to come home. I think you like to play out in the garage more than anything. You love to know how everything works, and that include dad's tools. If he is working on something, you are usually out there with him trying to help.

It has been a great year Carter and we couldn't be prouder of the young man you are becoming. We love you!
