It is with great pride that I write that you are your father's son! I can't even begin to describe how much I love you! I feel like you are one of the greatest friends I have on this earth. You tell me I am a princess, or beautiful just when I need to hear it most. You give me hugs and kisses. I even can confide in you. You listen. And then give me a hug. You have no idea what I'm talking about, but you are there when I need you. Like times when I just need to tell someone what a stinker you can be, but what a sweet boy at the same time.
You had a set back when we went to Grandma and Grandpa Heaton's house with staying dry at night. You are a CHAMP at this whole potty business now. You wake up at 2 AM to have me help you go to the bathroom, or you can make it all night. I'm so proud of you that it doesn't bother me at all having to help you. I then offer to carry you back to bed because you look sooo tired and you never resist. So I get to snuggle you for a few minutes as I carry you back to bed. It makes me so proud and happy. You work so hard.
As for you are your father's son, I mean you have many of his amazing attributes that I love, but mostly his strength in stomach. :) I get motion sick you see, but you don't! You are a crazy dare devil and will try just about anything to have some fun. Dad and I knew you and Eden would be super sad when he had to start school because let's face it, he is going to be gone A LOT this semester. You got him basically to yourself for almost 2 weeks. You were his shadow. You helped him fix anything and everything. You built forts together, you threw airplanes, you went for drives together. You guys were meant to be together in this life. So, we made a plan. After a couple of days of Dad being gone, I would take you and Eden somewhere to have so much fun to help you remember how much fun Mom can be.
It worked! I got you to think I am super cool too. I took you and Eden to Jungle Jim's Playland. And YES, we played hard! They had a merry-go-round with horses, spin rides, bumper cars, FLYING AIRPLANES, a jeep ride, and even a roller coaster! You did EVERYTHING. Eden did too, but you went twice as hard as Eden. Your favorite ride was the airplanes. I was worried you would be scared to do the rides by yourself, or that you just wouldn't be able to figure it out, but I was wrong. You are so smart and this was something you loved and could do! The roller coaster didn't even phase you. You were looking around like what's next Mom while I was sitting there ready to puke and poor Eden was done after just a few rounds. She will probably love it when she is your age though. Can I just say, I'm soooooo excited for Disneyland in March?!
You are an amazing kid! Your energy has never died, but you are controlling it and putting it to good use.
You have started primary!!! PRIMARY! Where did the time go?! I'm not going to lie. I have been absolutely terrified of this day. I had to teach sharing time your first Sunday and I was afraid you would have a hard time. Your first Sunday you did pretty good! I was impressed! Like I said, you amaze me! And once singing time came, you caught on. You really wanted to be the center of attention and help lead the music, or speak at the microphone. You are going to be a natural leader. The best was when you got to lead the music for singing time. You absolutely loved it and you sang and then when your turn was over you behaved so good because you got to do what you wanted. The next Sunday you were quite the stink. You kept telling me you wanted to go home, but I think it was just a bad day for a lot of the kids. But, again when singing time came, you knew just what to do. I'm so happy I can be in primary to see you grow and learn. It might be hard for you to have me there, but I'm just glad for the little bit of time I get to see you grow in this. You are so smart and I love seeing you learn.
We love you Kael.
Love,
Mom and the rest of the family
