Drew's latest book

Drew just finished this 64 page book in two days of reading with mommy.

At bedtime...

Daddy, can you tell mommy I love her more than a shooting star....which is actually an asteroid burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.

He loved being on the tiger.  He petted it and talked to it the whole ride.

So....
Drew has been somewhat tentative during the games this soccer season.  This is far different than what we see in the yard or in practices where he runs like crazy and attacks the goal.  He admitted the other night that he was hanging back from the group in games because he was scared his head would get hurt if it was hit by the ball.  He then decided it wasn't that scary and in his next game he wouldn't be scared.

Long story short, he went out and scored 6 goals in the next game and basically dominated the other team.  Totally different player. 

Kate built a tower

She is so proud of it!
