Alex has been such a good sport recently, sitting through recitals and belt testings and many practices and rehearsals with me. He would usually prefer to be at home, playing with Caramel or watching "Big Hero 6" for the 500th time. We sure love his smile, his sense of humor, and his big hugs.

| Did we mention he loves Big Hero 6? Baymax makes a great sleeping buddy. |
 |
| Alex and I like to pass notes back and forth during church or other quiet times. "I love you to the moon" and "You're weird. Haha!" are just a few of his missives. |
 |
| It is incredible to watch a child learn to read, and we've loved watching Alex do so this year. One gorgeous early morning this week he curled up next to me in bed so we could read together. |

| This boy and his dog are too cute together. She follows him around hoping he'll drop a few crumbs of whatever snack he's having, and they'll chase each other around the house until they both fall down from exhaustion. She loves to curl up at his feet when he's tucked into bed and is always excited when he gets home from school, knowing that he'll play with her. |

| Oh, how I love this boy. An afternoon dentist appointment left us with time for a Starbucks date. It was a rainy afternoon and we weren't in a hurry, so we sat on the tall stools by the window with our vanilla cremes and watched the world go by. It's rare for us to go somewhere just the two of us anymore, and I was grateful for a few minutes alone with my Peanut. |
