Iddy, you are becoming more and more mature every single day. Sometimes you tell me stories about your life before we knew you and I treasure these memories away because I hate that I missed those years in your life. The other day you told us that you used to believe white people didn't die, only black people! All kids have funny beliefs like this, but I just want to know as much about your early life as possible because I didn't get to witness it firsthand. We were talking about new year's resolutions today and you said that you wanted to be better at skateboarding and learn more about making films. I think these are great goals, and I see you succeeding at anything you set your mind to. You have also really learned kite surfing very well, too. You have so many talents, and you love music. You got guitar hero for Christmas and have been playing quite a bit. You can now beat me every time at ping-pong, and Papa, too.
