Andrew

Andrew is getting too big! He will be going to school this Fall as a kindergartener and I don't know if I'm ready for another big kid yet! At this age, Porter was into drawing and art, but Andrews passion is playing games. I haven't been able to beat him very often in checkers for almost 2 years now. He also loves monopoly, yahtzee, uno, battleship, bingo and a host of other games. We definitely get our fill daily!

A funny story about Andrew is one day when he was torturing Jane's doll, he wrapped it's legs around the head. Then he asked me, "what if people could do this Mom?" The next thing I know he's on the couch in the same position and we all start laughing. Funny thing is, we went visiting teaching a short time later and this nice older sister lets the kids watch cartoons while we visit. During the conversation she turns to Andrew to ask a question and he's sitting in this same position, mesmerized by the cartoon, so not only does he not answer but the way he's sitting sets everyone into hysterics again because honestly, how can that really be comfortable?

Recently while riding his scooter, Andrew had a run in with the handlebar of a kid twice his size and this is what it did to his helmet. Luckily he was knocked onto the grass and not the pavement otherwise he would have had a lot than just a headache. I hate to think where he'd be if he hadn't been wearing a helmet. We're just glad he was-love you Andrew!
