Peter has the most amazing imagination.
He loves to be in character, whether he is physically dressed up or pretending to be the toy figure(s) he is playing with.
He loves being the hero. He is guarding the princesses in their castle.
After helping someone (in pretend or in real life), he often responds with "It's my duty."
He has an amazing memory for reciting things. Since being in school, he is reciting all of the shape poems they've learned, singing multiple new songs, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and the school motto, and telling us silly illustrations his teacher uses... stories of invisible buckets on their head, peanut butter on their clothes. (???) But he's only been able to tell us the name of two classmates, and those names only came yesterday.
I have been shocked to see that he isn't outright tired after school. He has yet to take a nap after school. And he napped daily until 2 weeks before the start of school. There is some definite limited "instruction" time left so we usually look over and talk about things in his folder immediately after school. After that, its hard to focus on anything I want him to focus on. But he loves continuing to play with Lily and with toys. As one of my friends pointed out, maybe that's what its like to be an extrovert. I think he really gets energized from all of activities & people at school.
He is strong willed and determined,
sweet and caring,
fearless and thoughtful.
And finally, his 6 year stats:
Height: 48 1/4 inches (90%)
Weight: 55 lbs (90%)
Yesterday, I had an afternoon of praise to God for our pediatrician. She has truly been such a blessing to us. She is exactly what we needed. I could clearly see God's hand of providence in taking us in to see her (the doctor doing sick visits) on that dreadful night a few years ago. Since then she has listened/analyzed, advocated for us, thought through everything with us, guided our perspective on things, and continues to fight for us. I just wanted to fall on my face in thanks to God that he makes people so smart, so caring, and so generally awesome and then they use that to serve and bless others.
He truly has provided for us & given us moments to see His purposes, which although have felt hard, we joyfully submit to (I sorta of shudder to type that) as He allows & enables us.
Then I heard this song, and I was even more undone at His goodness.
"Thy great descent has made me whole!"
