Kyler is Five

Dear Kyler,
When you turned five last month, I just has to think, wow, what a big kid you have turned into. You even no longer look like a baby - even your sweet face has a new look to it. You have adjusted to full time school very well, learning to write neater, reading (wow!!), discovering the world out there. Your teacher says that you are one smart kid, have a great imagination, and are one heck of an artist. She also said you could be so much more if you weren't so distracted (and distracting!) sometimes. I guess we will be working on that. You love to be the leader (I think that comes from me) and that will come in handy later in life - bossing your brother and sister around right now though, not so much fun for them. You are a character (that I am sure is daddy's influence) and very sure of yourself - good for you. When you say your prayers at night, you only thank God for one thing. It changes from night to night (dragons, firepower, lately holidays), but it is always just one thing. You always have to sit on our front porch to say goodbye to whomever is leaving our house and can't move until their car is out of sight. One of your ultimate things to do is to do projects - or at least gather supplies for your projects - it is quite amazing what is in that head of yours! With all of the things you are learning each day, I can't wait to see how much you continue to grow and mature in the next year. I love you big guy!
