His birthday party with family and friends is next weekend, however his new classmates have embraced him in such a loving and compassionate way that we are doing a mini celebration at school today!
Etude is either 12 or 13 years old, we don't know for sure, however because of contact we have had in the past with his birth family, we believe he is turning 12. So 12 it is, just like that. *smile*
He has been home with us 32 months, and in the process taught us so much. He is gentle, loving, and playful with younger children. He is obsessed with super heroes, Legos, Lincoln Logs and cars. He has grown emotionally, physically, and academically by leaps and bounds in the last almost 5 months. Doing things, we once thought would be impossible for him. It is amazing to see! I also believe he will be much taller than both Ashley and I, he mentions it often, he is excited at the possibility!
Happy Birthday Etude! We are so very proud of how you are growing and maturing!
