Bowen turns SIX years old today!
He is 40 pounds, size 6 clothes, and as bony as can be :)
We are working on learning to read, but he isn't too interested. He is such a different learner than Grayson and I'm constantly trying to evaluate what is best for his learning style. He just recently has started wanting to write more or me spell stuff for him.
He thinks he can just make up Spanish words. His most common used are "chi-os" for goodbye and when he counts in Spanish, he always says "uno - dos - tres- cuatro- cinco- seis- sirache- nueve- diez" It's like he combines siete, ocho and srirache into one word :)
He will combine other words too... he told me he had on his "hot toboggy" the other day... a combo of toboggan and hot tamale.
Some of his best friends are one year olds and he loves them so much. He is so sweet with little ones and truly loves being with them!
He has learned to show self control so much better over the last year. Of course, he still has some moments, but overall he is doing so well... and now we have another wild-man-3-year-old who has taken his place :)
He lost his first 2 teeth (bottom middle) in the past 6 weeks!
He has started playing a lot of soccer in the cul-de-sac and he enjoys it and is really good at it!
He has amazed us at the board games he has learned and done well with recently (even though he doesn't read!) Some current favorites are Ticket to Ride, Monopoly Deal, and Pandemic
He loves playing with his brothers and friends, being read to, mac and cheese, getting one on one time with Chad or me, chopping with a hatchet
