Caboe Ocean
You drew this picture as a replica of a painting Yaya did of some rocks down in Cabo. It's pretty great.

Scientists Only
You made this sign for your bedroom door and clarified that it
pertained to the "researching and inventing" kind of scientist.

French Horn
You made yourself a French horn out of foam pipe insulation and a
giant bendable flower. Awesome!

Inch
Dylan,
You've grown a full inch since your "5 yr" checkup, which was January 28 -- just 39 days ago.
No wonder so much of your clothing suddenly no longer fits right.

Event horizon
Dylan,
There's been a lot of angst recently about where to continue your education when you're done with this third year at SJM. We've gotten you enrolled (through no small effort) in a public elementary that's about as highly regarded as they come, but at this point we are still considering other options. What matters to us is that your intense love of learning and appetite for absorbing information are fostered, not squelched.
I commented to you at lunch today when you made a reference to attending said public school next year that if Mom and I found a school that was even better for you we would send you there instead. I asked you if you'd rather go to the public school (which I'm deliberately not naming here) or to the best school for Dylan, you replied: "I want to go to the school that will help me win a Nobel Prize".
...
The quickness and casual resoluteness of your response was jaw-dropping. Especially since neither Mom nor I had any awareness that you even knew about Nobel prizes.
I promise I'll do my best to find you that school.
