Dear David,So you turned seven years old, seven months ago! This is how this year has gone for you. It's been a quick one and you growing up is sneaking up on me. You are easy David. Kind. Thoughtful. Obedient. Fun to be around. A good friend. You understand things quickly and like to learn. You are the first to raise your hand in church or school and volunteer to help. You will try anything and give you best when you do.
This year, your favorite sport is soccer, or maybe snow skiing. You've also taken golf lessons and tennis lessons. You do well, because you are athletic but more because you listen to your coaches and really try to implement what they recommend.
You made three best friends at school this year. Liam, Alex, and Logan. Your teacher, Ms. Caronna, said you picked the three nicest kids in class to be your best friends. It is no surprise. You have great judgment, my boy.
David, you are a great big brother. Benji loves you and looks up to you. He shines when you spend time with him. He can be a pain at times, but I'm so grateful he has you to help guide him and show him how to treat others. Claire and Kennedy are your biggest fans. They love watching you play soccer and supporting you in the things you love to do. They never complain about having to hang out with their "brother" even though you do your own thing when they are playing their "girl" games.I'm trying to be fair and think of your weaknesses too, because that is also part of your story. And you know what, I can only think of one. You have a bad habit of biting your fingernails and toenails, but in typical David fashion you even chew them straight and never too low.
Your dad and I think you are the best, my Davey-do. We are so glad you are ours!
Love, Mom
