My darling, first born boy, what a year it has been! Last year was tough, but I watched you really come into your own this year and find your stride. 6th grade has been fantastic for you as a class officer and head honcho of the school. You have made a million friends this year, both girls and boys and it is safe to say that there are more than a few ladies doodling your name on their notebook.
You continue to be full of energy, ideas, and interests. You are dramatic and hilarious, and share your thought unabashedly, but you are also mature and thoughtful. You are very verbal and express yourself incredibly well for a 12 year old boy. You impress teachers, adults and kids and the little ones especially love and look up to you. You make friends with strangers and can engage anyone in a conversation. You still like to be little and don't take yourself too seriously. Being "cool" is not important to you, but being social and having fun is VERY important. You have friends in all groups and include anyone and everyone. I love that! Your number one motivator in life is fun, which can be both good and bad. You work hard so you can play hard and you love free time to just hang out with the girls or boys in the neighborhood.
You have made some transitions this year. We have watched you put a lot more effort into your school work and take it more seriously, which is great! Your teacher has been tough, but she has been great for you. Your last report card was fantastic. You LOVE music, especially the songs on the radio and could listen to it all day long. You have a wonderful voice and love to sing. You killed it in your school play this year and you loved being on stage. Your interest in athletics has waned, and you have decided that you are not interested in comp. sports. It was a surprise to us, since you are so naturally athletic, but they seem to be going by the wayside. Playing rec sports is what you love. You hate the piano, but you are sticking with it and improving. I hope, one day, you will thank me for making you stick with it.
You are such an open child and keep us involved in every aspect of your life. We love it and love taking the time to chat with you and learn about your life. You are a great example to your brothers of how to share your feelings and problems. You are starting to go through puberty and can be overly annoyed at times, but for the most part, you are still an awesome big brother. You let Pierce sleep with you every night and it is the sweetest. You have a close relationship with each brother and it is one of my favorite things to watch. You share your love openly with both me and dad and are affectionate and sweet to us both.
You have a strong testimony and a desire to do what is right. You received the priesthood and are taking your duties very seriously. You love young men's and scouts and are a great member of your quorum. You share your testimony easily and eloquently, you understand and remember scriptures and love to do what is right. You hear the spirit, listen and act. You are so spiritually strong.
You are learning how to control your emotions, be more steady and you are great at saying sorry and apologizing. It is a gift that you are so willing to be humble and show love, even after an argument or misunderstanding.
You are fun, lots of it. We absolutely enjoy the energy and excitement you bring to our family and feel a void when you are gone. We are enjoying this last year before Jr. High, we know our time with you is getting short as friends and activities will become more important, but we hope you will always love to be with us as much as we love to be with you. The world is lucky to have you...you are so full of life and love, we can't wait to see what you do with it all!
XOXO, Mom and Dad
