Owen is such a handsome young man and I'm pretty amazed by him these days. Owen struggled quite a bit in Kindergarten but he is progressing fairly well in 1st Grade (behavior-wise and academically, especially Math) and I find a lot of joy in hearing him learn to read and practice sight words. It used to be incredibly difficult for him so I'm just so happy and impressed that he's starting to get the hang of it! Gspice introduced a Pokemon video game where he makes Owen read in order to play. Good idea, Gspice! Owen has also started reading his Dog Man books before bed so I can tell his confidence is growing too.
PERSONALITY
Owen's personality is really coming to life. He loves to play with friends outside - I'm sure he'd play all day if we let him. He also got into playing Prodigy this year too, which is a math game through school, and he "battled" his friends from daycare who are a couple grades ahead of him. Owen is also very much into Stratego and Sleeping Queens so we bought a few more games for Christmas in July last year. He likes to color and draw, sing songs, tell stories, explain things, and is a strong negotiator. And even though Owen does not prefer physical touch, he DOES love our bedtime routine where we "show" love by softly tracing around his face with our finger. Owen is also a very determined young man when he wants to be - he essentially taught himself how to ride a bike by riding in our garage and holding on to the car or wall for balance. Owen now is asking to go to and from school by himself - I'm not ready for that just yet since it's a 2+ mile trek.
