Justin you continue to make us laugh daily. It's often not on purpose but when you realize we think it's funny you get this big grin on your face and then you want to say whatever it is that made us laugh over and over in hopes of getting us to laugh again. You do enjoy entertaining us.
You still get SO excited about tractors, trucks, trains etc. I will be really sad if this phase ever ends. Whenever you aren't in the car with me and I see some cool construction equipment- I'm sad you aren't there to see it! I love it when somebody asks you about a tractor and you inform them that it's the 4020 or the 4440 or the Old A. And god forbid somebody call a piece of construction equipment by the wrong name.
You are awesome with your directions. You know where you are and you pay attention to your surroundings. If we went on a road once, six months ago, you remember it when we go on it again and remind me of why we took it the last time. After you go on a field trip for school - you'll point out the roads you took when we drive by them.
You are a good big brother. Yes, you get frustrated with little brother sometimes, but for the most part you just want to love on him. You share your cookies, you want to give him a hug and a kiss before bed or when he wakes up in the morning. You love chasing each other around the house and it's been such a joy to watch the both of you together this past year. You especially love making Kyle laugh. Once you realize he thinks something funny you do it a MILLION times over.
You are a lover and not a fighter. This is something I cherish about you. It's been hard to balance that with teaching you to stand up for yourself; but I think you've managed to figure it out thus far. I think, just like your mommy, you'll have a younger sibling ready to step up to the plate for you when needed. Just give him another year.
When I was pregnant with you, I met a lady at a wedding who had two little boys. She was SO excited for me. She told me how wonderful little boys were. How they have such a special bond with their mother and she also told me how she loved the smell of her boys. I know it sounds crazy- but you do have this wonderful little boy smell. It's something like sweat, candy, sunshine and dirt. At some point after you moved to the big boy bed, I tucked you in and all of a sudden I noticed it. I hadn't thought twice about her comment at that wedding until that moment. Now I sniff you all the time when I put you to bed - that's not weird, right?
