David

Can I tell you how BLESSED we are to be the parents of this little man?!? David is by no means perfect, but he is growing up so much and seems to have come out of a rough spot in regards to discipline, complaining, and obeying. Although all the trials were typical, he is in an amazing place right now. He tries so hard to obey us, is patient and generous to his brother, thinks of others, and is just geniunely a fun person to be around. I wanted to document a few "David stories" that I wouldn't want to forget in the future:

*He is very auditory. He can hear songs on the radio and attempt to guess the artist if it is someone he listens to often. Also, he knows almost all his letter sounds. The funny thing about that is that I rarely work on it at home and he identifies the letters by the sound that it makes as opposed to the actual name of the letter. He makes voice connections as well, a few weeks after he saw School of Rock he came downstairs one morning and said that he knew the guy on that movie sounded just like Kung Fu Panda. What a funny thought at 7 am!
*When I ask David to do something he sometimes whines about it, but for the most part he will think through his response and smile with the following statements: "I certainly will!" or "sure, mom!". Cutie!
*He loves, loves, loves, Jonathan. They have begun to argue over toys occasionally, but that is only when David doesn't turn something immediately over to Jon. He usually shares with his brother, is the first one in the room when Jon wakes up, and tickles him with kisses every morning!
*David is still the entertainer at school (see previous post about his performance of Macho Man during class).
*David LOVES having Wellspring meet at his house every other week. He knows his days of the week so he counts down to when his friends come to play and when "daddy talks to all the other people downstairs" :)!
*He can navigate the computer very well and loves Starfall.
*He loves to rock out to One Way Jesus (by Hillsong) and is still a big fan of The Killers, Jack Johnson, and The Rolling Stones.
*He eats and eats and eats... some days I can't seem to get the kid full! He doesn't eat as healthy as his brother but man does he eat! His favorites right now are eggs, turkey bacon, vegan pancakes, chocolate chip cookies, homemade pizza, and popcorn for a treat.
*He loves to cook with me and we make pancakes together almost every weekend!
*He memorizes scripture easily and I really think that learning God's word has helped him control some of the earlier mentioned behavior.
*He still has the most joyful laugh!
We love him

so very

MUCH!
