Micah is 7

This update is 2 months post-7th-birthday, but better late than never, right? 

Micah's loves haven't really changed since last year. He still really enjoys drawing, coloring, Lego creating, and playing pretend. Soccer has become the front-runner in favorite sports but basement football is definitely a close second. He loves to juke his big brother and come up with a play with his dad. He played rec league soccer and basketball and is currently in baseball. 

He had a great year in first grade. It seems it went so fast as a whole, but the last month seemed to drag on I think because we didn't do that last month last year. I have to push him a little to practice reading, but he really is gaining all the skills he needs. He also remembers ALL the phonics rules that mom doesn't know. It's funny when he asks me questions about them and I have to tell him I don't know. He keeps track of all his classmates and gives pretty detailed reports of his day at school.

He and Eli share a room and it's my favorite when they are on the same bunk and Eli is reading to him or Micah is asking questions about whatever Eli is looking at. They continue to be a great balance to each other. It makes my mommy heart happy. 

As I write this, Micah is building a fort downstairs for his sisters while listening to The Greatest Showman soundtrack. He does his best to be patient, but I just heard him say "ok, everyone out". We really see God molding his little heart to be obedient to His will and extend forgiveness to others and to himself when we mess up. Love being such a close observer to this. No doubt, God will use Micah to do great things.
