SIX

This boy right here who made me a mommy turned 6. We literally just blinked and he went from being a tiny NICU baby to a kindergartner overnight.

Finn, you are smart. You love to learn and remind me when it's time to do your spelling words. You are in a competition with yourself to see how quickly you can learn them. Which brings me to the next one, you are competitive. You want to be the fastest, the strongest, the best. This drives you to be the hardest worker I know. You ask to go outside and hit golf balls, ride your bike, or do yard work.

You are kind. You're a good friend and quite possibly my favorite trait- you're an includer. You ask 3 friends to sit with you at the parents' table when you're only supposed to have 1. When we eat lunch with you at school,  just about every third kids says "hi" to you in the cafeteria and you call them your friends. You ask people what their names are and you remember them. You remember everything. We call you a sponge and a steel trap.

You love soccer. Your Saturday morning kindergarten league may as well be the World Cup because of the amount of effort you give.

You love Legos. You can build a set for an 8 year old within an hour. What's even more surprising is that you'll focus on it for that long. If there aren't instructions- you build whatever you want.

You love super heroes. All of them. You love reading about them, dressing up like them, and reenacting them with our brothers.

We love you so much and are so proud of you!
