Half Birthday Boy!

(half birthday boy, but not the happiest half birthday boy in this pic)

Happy Half Birthday to our biggest boy, Brody! You bring so much joy to our lives, and we are so very proud of you! You are having an amazing year in first grade, and Mom and Dad couldn't be happier with all the new things you are learning and accomplishments you are making with your reading, writing, and math. You are flying through chapter books, writing full stories that fill up page after page, and solving math problems in your head that we can't even do! It is so great to see you soak up everything around you and show such a joy for learning. You are also working extremely hard in hockey this year and rocking it! I can tell you that when I was in first grade, I certainly wasn't getting up at 6 on weekdays to practice hockey before school, but you do it and love it! You are a great role model for your brothers and sister, a wonderful caretaker and helper at home, and a great friend to your classmates and teammates. We couldn't ask for a better biggest, and we love you to infinity and beyond! We can't wait to see what you'll do next!

XO,
Mom
