Zeke, you are a thoughtful, kind boy. As you say, "I love, love." Which is funny to me, but true, you love hugs, snuggling, and sitting on Daddy's lap, even now. You have become a much better reader in the past year. You enjoy putting together puzzles. You enjoy CrossFit-- you are currently taking your second, 6 weeks of kid classes. You can build/see thing in your mind and make them happen with your blocks/marble tracks/legos, whatever material you are building with. You like to experiment when you play piano. You'll practice your songs, then you'll transpose your songs into different keys to see how they sound. I love that you sit down and just try things to see how it sounds. You've been receiving Think Outside boxes this year and have collected quite a slew of equipment for your backpack! Some of your favorites are your flint and steel, the repair kit, and the newest box which gave you a long rope and lots of instructions for tying different types of knots. You have begun 2 finger knitting, and are currently working on knitting 2 strands of yarn at the same time. We have employed your skills to make us a door sock to keep some of the cold air out! You are getting your own aquarium {Pictured above} for your birthday this year! You set it up yesterday! It is so colorful and fun. You got to pick out your own decorations and colors of gravel and I think it turned out really cool! Today when Daddy and I take you out for your birthday lunch, you'll be picking out your fish.
Gosh, apparently when you have younger siblings, it is hard to get a picture of you alone! These were about the only two in the past 3 months!
Well I'm going to make this short and sweet so I can get it posted! Ezekiel, you bring joy and fun and music and thinking and growth to our family. You are getting a bit more responsibility these days with your own Relay "phone" and you are proving trustworthy so far. I cannot wait to see all the ways you grow and mature in this coming year. I am proud to be your Momma. Happy 9th Birthday! Love, Momma
