Dawson

   I have been wanting to write a post about Dawson.  I have written about Ashlyn a lot with school starting, etc and Graceyn and her monthly updates, but I feel like I haven't talked about Dawson enough recently.
    Dawson is our sweet boy.  He is such a joy to be around. He is one funny little boy too.  I swear at least once a day he says something that has Joey and I laughing.  Last week, we were all getting ready to go on a walk.  Dawson informed us, "I'm not going on the walk.  I'm staying here alllllllll by myself...with daddy".  Joey and I thought that was pretty funny.
     Dawson is such a boy.  It is amazing how different he is from his sisters.  He is into all things boy.  He still loves Thomas the Train, but his tastes seem to be growing up a bit.  He loves Transformers and Ninja Turtles.  His biggest new obsession, is Legos.  Joey had all of his old Legos from when he was a boy.  We moved them up to Dawson's room.  Dawson can spend hours just putting them together and taking them apart.  He seriously always has a Lego in his hand.  Not so much fun for me, as I am constantly picking them up around the house.  We have also been really  working with him on the importance of not leaving them out where his baby sister can get them. 
     Dawson is a smart little boy and every afternoon we work on his preschool workbook.  He is doing a great job of learning his letters, numbers, colors etc.  He is constantly surprising me with how much he knows.  He is an eager learned and is always very excited when I tell him it's time to do his school work. 
   Dawson is just a great kid to be around.  He is very laid back and does a great job of entertaining himself.  He's always playing some made-up Transformers game.  My sister and I always agree, that out of the five kids, he is the easiest to watch.  He is just a good, sweet little boy.  He does still have his typical three year old tantrum moments, but they are usually short lived and he does a great job of taking some alone time and apologizing without any prompting.
    I just love Dawson so very much.  He has been such a wonderful addition to our family.  With Dawson around, we literally never have a dull moment! 

My very handsome little boy

I told him to make silly faces, and this is what I got.  Too cute!!!
