You’re an excellent liar. And I mean that in the best way possible. You tell us stories you think we want to hear instead of the true story. Right now it’s hard to know what is true and what is not true in your world. In the medical field we would call that being a poor historian. I think that this quirk is born out of your deep empathy. You can feel what we feel, you can anticipate what we want to hear, what we want to know - so you project those stories back to us. It's quite a talent.
You can really read this year. And your standardized tests say that you are surpassing your peers in math and reading. You tested into a gifted and advanced learning program at school. But gosh, you cannot focus on completing tasks that you find boring. Trying to get you to write even one sentence is pure torture… for both you and me.
You’re still kind, empathetic, silly, and a pure joy in our family. Your jokes are getting better. Sometimes you have Dad and I chuckling pretty hard. You’re a great physical comedian. Silly walks are a specialty of yours.
I’m excited to see what this next year brings. I want to see more silly walks.
Happy birthday!!
I love you kiddo,
Mom
