Micah is 8

Our Micah Scott is 8! Here we are at the end of the school year, and I see so much growth in him in the last few months. He is growing in maturity, friendship, kindness, awareness, and admitting when he's wrong. We thank God for the work He's doing in Micah's life and Micah responding to it. 

Micah is very creative and is always working on something. He loves to create art pieces and since he's become a great reader, he has added word bubbles to much of his art. He likes taking pictures with my phone and then editing them. They often make us laugh. He also likes to know how things work and is creative in finding solutions to fixing things- bike chains and training wheels seem to be his favorite things to tinker with right now. He still likes drawing, painting, coloring, and building his own Lego masterpieces. 

I think sports have made their way up on Micah's "likes" list. He played baseball last summer, soccer last fall, and basketball this winter. Since basketball season, his shot has improved a lot as he's gotten stronger and more confident. We're gearing up for baseball season and tennis camp this summer. He also loves to play basement football with Eli and Dad, as well as "crashketball" in the trampoline. For his birthday, we went to the Buhler High football field and played football. He loves the Dallas Cowboys and likes to talk about players both current and past- I've heard the name Bob Hayes many many many times. 

Probably one of Micah's most obvious qualities is he's curious. He likes to know "how" and "why" to everything. I don't always have answers to all of questions, but he certainly keeps at them.

Micah's grandpa Wichert passed away unexpectedly shortly before his birthday. Micah has been good at remembering some funny stories with Grandpa and we've all smiled remembering our good times with him. He misses Grandpa a lot. 

In the fall Micah got the character award of "initiative" at school. And I really see this as an area of growth for him this year. He often asks if/how he can help or just does things without being asked. He really is just growing up and it's a joy to watch and be a part of it. He is a really good brother and if he gets candy at school he often splits it up between his siblings. He loves to hold Greta and is the most comfortable with comforting her when she's upset. We sure love our Micah!
