Addisonian

Addison has been a busy boy lately. In fact, he's always busy. Always thinking or talking or imagining up some new battle between Lego Star Wars and Ninjago. He's going a little crazy with this whole winter business. Just too much energy! So every day he looks forward to the time when homework and practicing and jobs are all done and he can just go outside and ride his scooter. We're starting swimming lessons today, and hope that they'll help with all that energy. Addison's doing a great job in school and has just finished his second set of books from his kindergarten teacher. His report cards and test scores look great and he's just really enjoying being a kindergartener. He loves PE, recess, and music.

Addison was so excited for our New Year's "tea party" this year. It's one of his very favorite traditions.

Remember his Reflections project? The sculpture? Well he got second place in his category. We were so proud. The whole family got to go to his school for an awards ceremony. He was just so cute and little up there with all those kids. He's on the bottom left waving.

Uncle Sam showed him a video of dominoes being knocked over. Addison was fascinated and fixated on it until he figured out a way to do it himself.

And he's into jokes right now. He's picked up on the fact that grown-ups like them, and he's trying to figure it all out. This one is one he got from his dad. He was so tickled when he actually got the joke. He repeated it over and over at least a hundred times for days. And he's awfully cute.

I can't remember if I ever posted this, but he played in his first piano recital back in November. He did a super job! He's just finishing up his first set of piano books and is very excited to move on to the blue ones.
