The other day we found a video tape of Christmas years ago. We watched with such amazement at the changes we have seen in our kids. They have grown, but the more things change, the more they stay the same. Boston, on the tape is full of energy, spunk and fire. He knew exactly what he wanted back then and how he was going to get it. Nothing has really changed. He is sill so focused on what he loves and is always plotting on how he can get it.
I loved watching him to try to manipulate me back then, on tape, and match that against what he is still trying to do today. I can’t imagine where he gets that from. He has a great skill at looking at a situation and trying to determine how he can best get what he wants. It really is fun to watch.
He has a load of skills, which include a deep love and passion for reading, writing and dreaming up the next coolest thing. I’m hoping he has a Harry Potter idea in his beautiful brain, and it makes an early retirement a sure thing for his dear old Dad.
But even more impressive than his creativity, is his love for his friends and his sisters. He takes very good care of them and watches out for them like a hawk. He also loves his grandparents and has such a special place in his heart for his Papa Jack. When they are together, they are kindred spirits, with Boston asking question after question to the wise story teller and answer after answer coming back to him in parable form. It is very entertaining to watch.
It will be fun to watch as he grows and develops in middle school and beyond. Both Holly and I love him so much, it is hard to truly express in writing, but I know he feels that love in his big, beautiful brain.
