Caretaker

Dylan,

You've been an eager and competent helper. We've even noticed a
renewed diligence as we hear you counting to thirty while washing your
hands.

Baby Sister

Dylan,

Ruby Claire was born yesterday. You came to see her in the hospital
and got to hold her yourself, just like you learned to in your
'siblings' lesson last week.

Before leaving the room last night you climbed up on the bed where
Mommy was holding her and adorably sang a few verses of The Sound of
Silence.

You are a wonderful Big Brother.

Fall back

Dylan,

Daylight Savings Time ends on your birthday this year so we'll be setting our clocks back an hour Saturday at bedtime. While I'd like to think we'll get an extra hour of sleep, I know in reality you'll just be waking even earlier to get the festivities started.

I'm hoping you'll at least stay in your room until 6:00am.

rise and shine

Dylan,

You woke up early this morning and determined that if you got all your business taken care of, you'd have some time to play with your new LEGO fire engine. So you checked the weather forecast and saw that it would be sunny and warm, then chose a pair of shorts and a t-shirt to put on, and made yourself a bowl of Cheerios for breakfast. Then you let the chickens out and washed your hands.

Nicely done. Time to play before school!
