Dear William (66 months)

Dear William,

Today you are 66 months old.  This is your half-birthday!  You are very excited about that.  When you woke up this morning, you announced, “It’s my half birthday!" 

“Mom, mom! Take my picture while I am dancing and eating a granola bar!"

You did some more hiking and trail running this month.

 

We got some more “Colorado snow,” which is to say, 4 inches that melted the next day:

 

You played “futbol” with Liam and Ismiel.

 

You remain interested in Star Wars.

 

You drew a picture of Grandpa Bruce, and included his age:

 

You and mama built a Lego Scientist Lego set.

 

You had the “100th Day of School.”  Which is apparently a thing.  That people celebrate.  All the kids were supposed to count out 100 snack items and bring them to school in a baggie.  Then the items would be mixed together for snack time.  

I would guess that not all of your classmates washed their hands super well before counting out their 100 snack items, because we all got sick shortly thereafter.

 

You prepared all your valentines to hand out on the big day:

 

You’ve developed a renewed interest in playing Uno.  I’m working on teaching you how to hold on to your Wild Card until the end, to guarantee a win.

 

Happy half-birthday, Will!

Love,

Mama
