Asher is seven

Well, it wasn't -26 like it was the day I went into labor with this handsome guy but it has been pretty cold this week and was a high of 1 on Asher's birthday.  I was lucky to be home and we celebrated with the LaFond family.  Asher asked for "fake weapons" for his birthday this year so he got a foam sword as well as a new bike, and many other gifts.

 Asher, here are some things to remember about you as you turn seven:

  • As I said above, you're definitely in a weapons stage asking for fake guns, swords, a shield and a knife for your birthday/Christmas.  At least you said "fake"?!?!
  • You're doing great in school and are becoming a reader.  It's amazing how much you've learned since the beginning of the year.  You've gone from barely sounding out words to essentially reading on your own.
  • You like "Odd Squad", a PBS kids show.  Once in awhile you tolerate Reese's picks of My little ponies or barbie.
  • You absolutely hated the dentist last month and barely let them touch you.  Hopefully you get over this by the next visit...
  • You do a good job of trying to calm Emily and Soren down when they get upset.  You're thoughtful and have learned the art of distraction.  Such a good big brother.
  • You hate tomatoes and have PB&J most days for lunch.
  • You like to build forts and usually have all of the couch cushions taken off and made into a cave of some sorts.  You also get very frustrated when your siblings ruin them. :(
We love you Asher.  Stop growing up so fast!

Love,

Mom and Dad
