I can't believe that Ian will be a teenager in six months! He has finished his first year of being in middle school, in the church youth group, and on the Bible quizzing team. Thankfully, he still enjoys practicing the piano, although I still haven't been able to get him to play duets with me over the past year. Ian also still enjoys playing with the Nintendo Switch, reading, playing with Legos, playing with Nadia, listening to music, giving hugs, talking to his cousins (Joel and Nathan), and drawing with colored pencils. Over the past year he has switched to preferring to get up later in the mornings and has become braver at amusement parks. Lately he has been riding all of the thrill rides! Over the last year he's been wearing a retainer, and thankfully he's never lost it! A year ago, Milo was sleeping in his crate in Ian's bedroom, but now Milo sleeps in bed with either Ian or Nadia. As of today, Milo has been in our family for exactly 18 months. A little less than six months ago Ian's bed was transformed into a bunk bed, and he's been sleeping on the top bunk, which makes tucking him in at night more challenging. For the last several months he's been the only child who requests for one or both parents to come and kiss him goodnight in his bedroom. Although he's going into seventh grade, I'm planning on having him take Algebra 1 and complete a HS biology curriculum with Nadia this next school year. I love you so much, Ian, and I look forward to seeing how you will grow and develop in the coming months and years!
