Cooper got his own post, now Drew gets his. Drew is 5 years and 8 months old, or as he would tell you, he is 68 months old. Man that sounds a lot older than 5 years 8 months.
Drew started kindergarten this year and is doing really well. He has made some new friends, had a few play dates, and been asked to attend a few birthday parties. Now that he goes to school everyday he really appreciates school holidays more. He learned to read this summer and is just getting better and better this year. He has a little bit of homework most nights, but it doesn't take him long to finish it. He is already learning things that I know we didn't learn until 1st or 2nd grade. I ofter wonder how long I am going to be able to help him with his homework... and I have a college degree!
This Spring he will play on a new baseball team. The team he played on before is moving up to a new division, and we think he is too young to play up that far so Andy is going to help coach is team with one of the other dads. They will be playing modified coach pitch, which means they each get 3 pitches, and if they don't get a hit, they can take one swing off the tee. Drew is a pretty good hitter, but we thing another year in a less competitive league will help with his fielding.
Drew is still such a sweet boy. He loves his little brother, and and hanging out with his dad. He is standing right here and would like everyone to know that he is "really cool". He asks tons of questions, and all sorts of topics. This past Sunday on the way to church he hit us with "How do DVDs work?" and "What does 'His Grace is Enough' mean?" Really??? We often have to promise to explain something later, so that we can figure out how to answer it. Man are we in trouble when the questions really get tough!
I love the person Drew is. He is such a great kid! I am pretty sure I would like him even if he wasn't mine... but I am so glad he is my kid.
