Makai turns 7!

For Makai's birthday this year he did not ask everyday for two months leading up to his birthday how many more days it was till his birthday.  Makai loves to shop for toys.  He walks down the isles and just examines and looks and enjoys himself.  For this reason I have let him pick out his own gifts of his birthday instead of picking them out myself.  He enjoys it and it takes stress off of me.

This year he again choose Lego's.  Star Wars Legos.  I honestly can't believe our little man is 7.  Time is flying by.  He is a great kid.  He lives in an imaginary world a lot of the time and still struggles to sit still for any amount of time.  He always has some battle going on in his head.  His teacher has trouble getting him to do his work at school.  He likes to talk.  But he can read like a champ!  He loves to read book and will do so for hours.  Although his school teacher struggles to keep him on task, his church teachers love him.  They say he make them laugh every week.  For example:  One week they asked Makai if he would have been scared to be Ammon to which he replied, "No.  I just would have taken out my AK-47 and blasted all those bad guys."  His mind is pretty sharp.  Monty was talking to him about how he was concerned that when he plays video games he likes to be the bad guy.  He simply said, "Well Dad, bad guys think they are good guys and the bad guys think the good guy are the bad guys.  It all depends on how you look at it."  He has lost four teeth with one that is wiggling so much and he won't let me pull it.  He is afraid it will hurt.  He loves to cuddle and if I would sleep with him every night he would be a happy camper.  He loves video games.  He thinks he is part fish because he loves the water.  He doesn't like things that are scary--like scary movies.  He wants nothing to do with them.  We love this boy so much.  We are so glad he is in our family!!  Happy Birthday Makai!!
