Gentle Soul

This little guy has so much love in his heart.  He's a creative, constantly moving, sweet soul.  He had gotten some M&Ms and wanted to experiment with them on the back deck.  The wheels are always turning in the bright mind of his. 

But with little boys, comes the constant teasing he gives to big brother and sisters.  Tarin in particular he seems to target...likewise with Tarin.  Its like she has it out for him.  But underneath all that goofiness, he has a sweet tender heart.  He made this for her in particular.  He worked on it for awhile and was so excited to show her.  I hope Tarin notices how much he loves her.  She's a bit caught up in "the annoying" part of little brother, but I hope she sees he's not all "bad".  You just have to stop and see the good.  Good is what he is.

To add to the goofy, he can have a lot of courage.  I showed him a funny video of a kid that tied his tooth to a car and his brother drove off and took out the tooth (quick and easy).  He's been dying to get this tooth out, wanting to be like all the other 1st graders (our kids' teeth fall out later then normal) and have his two front teeth gone.  We've been working on this even when it wasn't really loose...but it was now getting close.  He wanted to try tying his tooth to something...the door?  We did try, but the floss wasn't strong enough and it snapped twice.  Part of me was relieved, because it wasn't quite ready to come out yet...but just shows you the fun personality he brings to our family.
