Frank lately

Frank has been such a good boy lately.  In the last few months, he has really transitioned from a boundary-testing, strong-willed kid into a helpful, kind, and respectful boy.  He is doing so well in school, and he is excited about starting kindergarten.  He is also doing great in baseball.  I do not remember the last time I had to put him in time out.  He earned "Top Dog" at school last week and again today, and he also got a "star student" award today for excelling in his music class.  He is FINALLY night time potty trained, and he is so proud of that.  I am really, really enjoying this time with my son.

Frank's likes right now:

TV - my little pony, PJ masks, wild cratts, scooby doo, ninja turtles, rescue bots
playing - science experiments, drawing pictures, crafts, legos, playing outside, riding bikes, helping to work in the garden, cleaning.  He is so creative!
food - his favorites are chicken salad sandwiches [Eatzi's is his favorite place to go eat], chicken nuggets, pickles, cinnamon toast crunch, candy, peas, and pizza
best friends - Bennett, Ethan, Jonah, Harper, Lucy.  Lucy adores Frank.  Her mom recently told me that she writes him a note every single day after school.  Frank still adores Harper.  His very best friend is his sister.

Frank was sick a couple of weeks ago for the first time in a very long time.  He had a fever for 5 days and then was extremely congested.  Turns out it was a sinus infection.  The day he went to the doctor he asked Frank how he got a "science" infection.  It was so cute.

He gets jealous of time I spend with Lily and with Frank.  When Frank and I go on a date, he always tells me he wants to go on a special date with me too.  We went to the sunshine glaze pottery place last week and painted crosses, and this Friday we are going to get donuts and coffee before school.  I sure do love this boy and all of the special time we get to spend together!
