He lost his 2 front teeth last month. We sang to him "all I want for Christmas...." often last month.
Bowen loves his little friends! It is an intense, smothering, aggressive love.
Over the last year, we (with Aunt Mary's help) have self diagnosed him with something like vasovagal syncope... it occurs when you faint because your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood". He is very sensitive to pain/blood and will easily lose all color, get nauseous, and light headed. Wasp stings, bad cuts, slammed fingers in the door have triggered him getting instantly sweaty, his face and lips draining of all color, throwing up.... we try to calm him down quickly.
Reading/spelling/writing he could care less about and are a struggle, but he is really good with math. I hope his reading just clicks and takes off sometime this year.
He has patiently waited for months to go to build-a-bear for his birthday just like Miller did last year. He has asked for something "snuggly and soft" of his own and he recently got a big stuffed black lab and his build-a-bear he named "Baseball" (Miller had named his basketball). The two of them have had so much fun with their animals lately.
He is currently in speech 2x a week and has made huge growth! He just had a whole new list of goals written because he has met all his old ones. Yayyy for progress and a wonderful speech therapist.
He loves to play outside and keeps up with all the big kids in the cul-de-sac. He's fast and agile!
He is a joy and delight and we are so proud of him!
