Happy 6th Birthday Andrew John Nullmeyer!!
Seems like just yesterday when you looked like this:
A few words to describe you right now: stubborn, hungry, smart, athletic, honest, energetic, confident, loud! Andrew you are a little whirlwind of noise and activity. If you're not yelling and running around being crazy, you're sitting and humming nonstop. I think your siblings ask you to "be quiet!" about 100 times per day.
Your energy and athleticism is absolutely crazy. Maybe it's a result of having older siblings? You are a strong little athlete and can hold your own playing with much older kids.
You idolize your big brothers and Daddy. (You've even told me that you like Adam better than me!) You copy everything they do and want to own everything they own. Maybe that's why you seem to act older than your age. In my opinion, you don't act like the typical "baby of the family" but instead say and do things that older kids would do. Makes sense, since you're with your big siblings all day!
We've taken a slightly slower approach with teaching you to read this year as a Kindergartener. We've slowly been making our way through the alphabet letter sounds, and just a couple weeks ago you started reading short words and now you're trying to sound out ALL the words you're seeing everywhere. It's such a fun stage! In bed at night you always pick out a book to "read" to yourself and this year you've "read" many huge books well over 300 pages.
Press play on this one:
You're always hungry! You'll be fine one minute and then next thing I know you're absolutely falling apart, crying that you're starving. You eat a big breakfast (usually eggs and toast or oatmeal and cereal) and then you're hungry for a big snack shortly after, and then starving for lunch by 11. You're definitely one of our best eaters.
Your 6 year growth stats: (My biggest boy at this age!)
Height: 3 ft, 9.25 inches (50%)
Weight: 45 lbs, 14 oz (54%)
Jenna is your main playmate and the two of you have a bit of a love/hate relationship. Sometimes you play amazingly! Imaginary store, restaurant, and library are some of your favorite things to do together. However, you two share a room, and sometimes the close proximity gets to you and the fighting begins.
You've become much more emotional lately, crying over the slightest thing. You can get moody and upset very easily. Sometimes you cry at the end of the day about "everything going wrong" and "people being rude".
