Iddy, you are a teenager now, so things get a little bit complicated sometimes, but you are such a good, kind, loving boy and you always try to do the right thing. A few days ago Papa was talking about how handsome you were and he said, "Mom tells you you're handsome a lot," and you said, "She does?" So for the record, I think you are incredibly handsome, and I am going to tell you that more often! I told you that two nights ago and you responded with, "I think you are beautiful, Mom." That made me feel so good, and I was not feeling all that good about myself at the time but your words lifted me up. You are really good at saying thank you for things like when we cook dinner for you or I make you a smoothie. You are really good at ping-pong and Sushi go. Sometimes I get mad because you always beat me, but you never rub it in or brag. You are doing very well in school, #1 in your class. A few nights ago you were helping me put the girls to bed because Papa was visiting with our dinner guests. We sang "Baby Beluga" and "What a Wonderful World" and you sang both songs with me all the way through as we sang through the books that go with them. That was so special to me and I know it was to the girls, too. They love you so much and you are so sweet to them, always telling them you love them before they go to bed. We had to go to Watamu without you last week because you were in school, and Abby Jones said, "Why doesn't Iddy get to go?" Both girls miss you when you are not around. I love our reading time together in the evening. We hardly ever miss it. Right now we are reading the Chronicles of Narnia. These books are so special to me as I grew up reading them, and I'm not sure if you love them as much as I do, but you are so sweet about reading them together because I love them.
