Where I hope to see you grow: Control. You are improving slowly, but we have a long way to go. You let your emotions run you and control you instead of you controlling them. We have you in play therapy right now to help with this and I see small improvements. We have also started praying more about this isue together and talking about better ways to improve. I know you can do this and I am so happy to get to be a part of the growth you are going through and cn
My Absolute 3 Favorite Thing We Did Together This Month
#1: Art Day-
Today we celebrated the wonderful world of art. We spent the whole day just you and me living in the moment. We started off early in the morning with a trip to the Winspear Opera House in Downtown to watch a live production of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs! What a blast we had too. We sat three rows back and had the best view of the show imaginable. The show was great. You especially loved the audience participation parts and getting to act like a pig when we voted on if the Big Bad Wolf should be set free or locked up forever! We voted on freedom.
Special Days: Art Days, AWANA, School, Baseball
Favorite Stories: You are just a crazy little boy, full of life and energy. You love to make me laugh and be hte little clown. You have a comedians heart for sure. Weather you are dancing out of the room all crazy, or truning cartwheels for me to look at, you love to have my undivded attention and to make me smile. Even on teh ropes, you were play falling and being crazy and sticking your head in like you were trapped, just being you.

Greatest Quotes: "No" " You cant make me", " OK whop me" and so many more...you have learned back talk! And WOW do I despise it. I'll just leave it at that.
What has impressed me most about you this month: Whenever someone is feeling down, we can always count on you to cheer us up. You do not like to see people hurt, crying, unhappy or sick. You try to pamper them and love on them and you are so incrediably sweet baby.Its a part of your character I hope you never loose.
Where I hope to see you grow: Control. You are improving slowly, but we have a long way to go. You let your emotions run you and control you instead of you controlling them. We have you in play therapy right now to help with this and I see small improvements. We have also started praying more about this isue together and talking about better ways to improve.

After the play we went on over to the Nasher Art Center and walked the tight rope!Its actually called "Cuddle on the Tightrope" by Ernesto Neto. The artist has added the complex new element of a freestanding, interwoven framework of metal structural supports to create his fun and beautiful art that we greatly enjoyed. It swayed, it bounced, and we laughed. Great joy! You really loved how the netting reminded you of spider webs.
From the Nasher we hooped on over to Crown Collection Asian Art Museum to look at there Lotus collection, Qualities of Jade and On the Silk Road and the High Seas: Chinese Ceramics, Culture and Commerce. The art examines why Chinese ceramics were such prized commodities, both at home and abroad. We got to see proto-porcelain how it appeared in China about 3,000 years ago and hard-paste porcelain . This precious product was sometimes called "white gold," especially in the West.There was also a Tantric Art exhibit but I chose to pass that one up.
From the Asian Art Center we hopped on over to the Dallas Museum of Art and explored what they had to offer. They had alot of different eras of African Art and we could not stay long at all. You were wearing down by this point and your little hands were getting way to curious and needed to reach out and feel the art. You were no longer content to look so we had to call it a day.
On our way back we did look at the Architecture downtown has to offer and you showed me all your favorite buildings and explained what you loved and hated about them. You seem to love sharp edges the best. Here are some of the buildings we looked at just driving around through downtown:

#2: Warriors Baseball/Rangers Baseball: I actually got to be the head coach for your baseball team The Warriors! It only last 2 months and the team was dissolved because people had issues with a female head coach, but we had 5 players that stuck by us through it all and I had a blast teaching you baseball. We ran drills, picked a team name, picked uniforms, played tons of practice games, hitting, pitching, catching, base running etc it was fabulous. Then we had to dismantle and you wound up on The Rangers. This started of sad and frustrating when we had to end our team, but your best buddy, Jace Carter, is on the Rangers and you were both so, so elated that you were going to play together that I couldn't be sad. Plus, a couple of the kids from our team wound up playing on The Rangers as well so it was perfect.
#3: AWANA: You finished the Cubbies last year and completed you very first full AWANA book and this year you are in the Sparks. I cannot wait to see you in your cute little outfit, learning scripture and having a blast making friends that have the same love for Christ that you do. I love being a leader for TNT so I get to see you daily being in the Word and witnessing your growth. This year your sister joins us to as the Puggles leader. YEAH
4. Centerpoint Choir: You got to sing in the church choir when we opened up the new sanctuary the first weeked of this month. You sang "Great is Thy Faithfulness" and you did so great. you got all dressed up in your little blue dress shirt and vest and you tan slacks and looked so handsome!
