Erik is a sweet boy.
He has a very kind heart and really watches out for his siblings.
nearly as many dollars as Erik. He very quickly said, "Don't worry Lainey, when we get to shop using our dollars I will make sure to buy you the biggest present."
Erik is a good student.
He really discovered reading over the summer.
I find him up late at night 3-4 nights a week reading.
He read through 3 series of chapter books in the past month or two.
Erik still doesn't love writing - the creative and physical acts of it.
I have also always hated writing, so I think I have to take credit for that one.
He is certainly on grade level but his writing skills are probably 2 grades behind his
reading skills which can be frustrating for him.
Erik is well behaved at school. We have never had any behavior issues.
It's a long day and hard to sit still for so long.
He does it well.
Erik is very active!
We watch little to no TV/screen time.
Erik would run and play from sun up to sun down if possible.
He loves all physical activity - running, baseball, fishing, kayaking, hiking, soccer, etc.
He has amazing endurance for a kid his age and very easily can hike 5 miles or ride his
bike for 12-15 miles. I love this and hope he continues to embrace an active lifestyle throughout his lifetime.
He has played soccer for the past couple years but switched to baseball this fall.
He LOVES it and often sleeps in his baseball hat.
Erik is stubborn!
Erik is a pretty laid back kid.
He has always been very accepting of last minute changes to
a plan/schedule. (I am thankful for that!)
If he doesn't want to do something he is asked to do,
he is not afraid to flat out tell us no or just refuse to do it.
We don't accept that behavior of course, but he isn't afraid to try it.
He never, ever yells or fusses he just calmly refuses to cooperate.
I find this behavior annoying at times, but generally speaking am
able to figure out a way to inspire cooperation quickly.
Erik is friendly
Erik seems to pick one or two kids as his best buddies.
James still hasn't been replaced (that may just be impossible) but
Erik has adjusted well to having his best friend and neighbor move.
Erik greets anyone he knows with a big grin and a wave.
It makes me proud to see him so kind and friendly towards friend and family members.
Erik is a kind, sweet boy.
He is a loyal friend and fierce protector of those he loves.
I love him dearly and am so thankful that he is mine.
Erik likes to give me a toothy smile.
It always looks a little awkward but I kind of love it.
