It was Charlie! He's a big five-year-old now. I can't believe it's been five whole years since I became a mom. In some ways it feels like it was only yesterday but then I really can't remember what it was like when I wasn't a mom.
Charlie is such a good boy. He is bright and eager to learn. His teacher, Miss Karlijn, says that he is the perfect student at school. She has to get after the other boys repeatedly but Charlie is always quick to obey. He is willing to help and even cleans up after others without complaining. He is learning to read and write and is doing very well. We are so proud of him!
Charlie is great at home too. He is the best big brother and Tommy just adores him. Charlie and Millie are best friends and worst enemies. They play and fight all day. Charlie is a good helper. He helps me with the dishes and the laundry and picking up toys. He is trustworthy and I know that if he says he won't do something, he won't do it. He is learning about Jesus and the scriptures and always knows the right answers during family home evening. He loves the primary songs and his favorite is "A Child's Prayer" (just like Gigi!).
He is sensitive and sweet but also loud and energetic. He runs around all day and I can barely keep up with him! He loves riding his bike and scooter, coloring and drawing pictures, reading stories, and playing Wii.
We love our Charlie so much and are so very glad he's in our family!
