Owen is 6!

Owen,

Sweet boy you are now 6 years old! You are growing up right in front of our eyes and we can't believe it! You are so smart, funny, and such an amazing kid!

You had a swim party at the Jones Center this year. You had a Batman cake, several presents, and pizza. You had so much fun swimming with all your friends and family! 

You are in kindergarten and have learned so much this year. You are learning how to read and write and love school so much. You have an awesome teacher who is such an advocate for you. Mrs Kim White has been so patient with you and is such a big supporter of you. We found out that you have autism but this will not hold you back. You are going to start some special classes that will help you so much and will let you learn the way you need to learn. 

You are so outgoing and are such a good friend to everyone. You are also a great big brother and make an amazing part of this family. 

When you play, you love to play with one toy at a time and will play with it for hours. You love to pretend and make believe. You have such an imagination and are so creative. We already see how musical you are and I am going to start teaching you lessons. You love to sing and can match pitch easily. You can also sing a song after hearing it only once.

We love you so much. We love seeing your unique personality blossom and to see you developing into the person God created you to be. We are so blessed to be your parents and to have you as our oldest child.
