Taft turned six!
We got to celebrate his birthday over 2 days! On his birthday he opened presents, including a new softy because his old one disappeared. He also got a cool new Lego set that shoots things. Then he got to go to Home Depot with Erik to get supplies for his strawberry hydroponic garden. In the evening we went to Bethlehem and then the next day we had cake and ice cream!
Taft has grown so much this year. He is big and strong. He can hang from the monkey bars for over a minute! He loves to ride his bike and play soccer with Alyssa and Erik.
Taft is naturally curious and naturally inventive. He is always thinking about why and how things happen and inventing ideas to help make things better and easier or to prevent bad things from happening.
Earlier this week our house was the victim of a police chase. Taft has been extremely involved in thinking about all the ins and outs of what happened. He has found tire tracks and observed other clues to put the story together.
Taft is a wonderful brother. He loves to help and teach his younger brothers. He and Alyssa are good friends. They build Legos together and play games. They will sit on Alyssa's bed before bed and play a round of Blockus or Sleeping Queens. They are also the singing duo and love to sing songs together throughout the day.
Taft has a sincere testimony of Jesus Christ. He knows Jesus loves Him and can help Him. He exercises his faith by praying. He knows God is listening to him.
