Ski school! |
In March he turned 4, at which point he informed us that he knows everything, which is practically true at this point. He can climb trees, swing, write his name, fold his own laundry. What else is there to know?
Leif's first day of Pre-K |
He lost his first tooth in November. He recently moved up to the early elementary school age Sunday school, where he shares & enjoys learning. We’re so proud of him. He is such an amazing BIG boy. He’s NOT a little boy, just ask him!
The boys together are a bit like a roller coaster. They are either laughing hysterically and coming up with games together, or wrestling and knocking each other over battling. It’s been nice that Owen can “hold his own” this year, because they often bond after a short struggle. In short, they love each other like crazy, and they are ALL boy!
