HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAI!!!
today we celebrated kai! we woke up and had our traditional birthday table, then we headed to provo where we bowled at BYU, rushing back just in time so kai could go to his very first combined young men/young women activity! crazy!!
kai is the middle child and just like the center of a teeter totter, he brings a lot of balance to our family. he relates to the big kids, and can help and love the littles. he is sensitive and notices what is going on. he is determined, responsible and self motivated. i hope he always stays focused on what is most important. i love my kai. sometimes, being the middle isn't easy i'm sure, and sometimes he has to be extremely patient while others needs are put before his. i realized this a long time ago, so i have been determined to make time for kai. i try to get max and viv tucked in and then kai and i read together. it's our time and it's really one of my favorite times of the day. we just finished the 6th harry potter book and when we complete the 7th, he and i are going on a trip. not sure who else we will invite, but we've been working towards our harry potter world trip- and i can't wait!
a mom of one of his friends called me the other day and told me her son said kai always does the right thing. she wanted me to know because she thought it was quite a compliment. we all make mistakes, but what a great reputation to have and strive for. i'm proud of this boy, and so glad he belongs to our family.
