Happy 6th Birthday to My Eli



On November 30, 2011 at 7:34am Eli King turned 6! Time has flown by so fast with this special boy and we can hardly believe what a young man he has become! Here are 6 important things to know about Eli at 6:

1. He is S-M-A-R-T! The boy is a little bit of a brainiac! He sees the world from such a wonderful and unique perspective and he is so thirsty for knowledge! He is reading, doing math and problem solving and has a passion for history!

2. Eli is an artist! He surprised us last year by asking to take art lessons and he has blossomed into quite the artist! He spends more time drawing than almost anything else! His favorite medium to use is oil pastels but he also loves colored pencils. His favorite subject to capture are dragons, castles, and pirate ships!

3. The boy can swim like a fish! Eli is happiest in water. He smiles from ear to ear the entire time he is in the pool. He has advanced rapidly through swim lessons and he will hopefully join a swim team this summer!

4. Eli is a joker. Eli is constantly making up knock knock jokes, puns, and silly ways to trick you. He takes a great deal of pleasure in pranking people and is a master of word games. We get such a kick out of his silly side.

5. Eli is a true friend and an empathetic soul. Eli is that boy in his school that you want your kids to be friends with. He is kind, funny, caring, and really watches out for those who might get picked on. He is so sensitive to everyones feelings and is very mature in his dealings with his peers.

6. Eli is an old soul. Eli is often wise beyond his years and frequently surprises us with his perspective on life. He is a deep thinker who is constantly challenging his teachers, his family (and strangers) with his need for answers as he navigates through life.

6 years ago we were blessed with a 9 lb 4 oz miracle and he has only proven more miraculous with every year! We love you Eli!
