- You love to swim and would probably stay in the lake or pool all the time if you could.
- You are very crafty and always carrying a notebook and some pens or markers to draw and create.
- We've learned a few new card games this year (sevens, hand and foot) and you love to play. You're begging us to teach you pinochle so you don't get kicked out of the card table when we play the "Adult game". I bet you'll learn it before your 10th birthday.
- This year you played volleyball, soccer and basketball. I think you're going to stick with just basketball for the fall/winter but you've also taken to doing Yoga at home and the other kids like to do it with you.
- You joined PEAK last year and loved it. You really like school and especially the special projects you get to do as part of the PEAK program.
- You are always singing, even when there's no music playing. I hope you always do that. You and Emily like to sing and dance together. I hope you always do that, too.
- You love holding your new cousin, Ridge, and helping with your younger cousins when we visit them, too.
- You and Asher are still sharing a room and you seem to like it that way. Most weeks, you rearrange furniture or redo your clothes or set traps for your siblings.
Luckily, we got to celebrate your birthday this year before school starts on the 30th. You invited some friends from school and daycare to HAC to play on the gymnastics equipment and jump in the foam pits. You have friends of varied ages because you like to play and help out with a lot of the younger kids. I can't believe you're starting 4th grade in a few days.
Happy birthday Reese. We love you so much.
-Mom and Dad
