Happy 6th Birthday, James!

Funny, kind, silly, and cuddly James is 6 today.  What a joy he is in our lives.  He is an open book of a little guy -- fully involved in any activity, emotion or thought that presents itself.  His inventive stories make us laugh and often include lots of farts, butts and other bathroom humor joys of little boys.

We are so proud of the progress he's been making in the classroom, with reading skills coming quickly and easily.  His teacher, Ms. Singh, says that he is an excited learner, which is such a joy to watch.  He is really thriving in the Montessori environment.

I love that he still snuggles with Alma and me every morning while Joshua is in the shower and often spends the first few minutes of dinner sitting on my lap.  Joshua and I are lucky to be his "Mom and Pop" as he likes to call us.  Now if we would only call him JAC, as he often requests (based on his initials).  Ha!

Happy birthday, buddy.  We are so delighted to have you in our family.
