Dear Caden,
You are now 7 years old! These past 7 years have gone by way too fast! I am enjoying watching you grow, learn, and change. You had a wonderful 1st grade year and we're looking forward to starting 2nd grade.
This year you wanted to have a tennis birthday party. The club had never done a tennis birthday party before and thankfully we were able to have one for you. You and your friends had a great time! On your actual birthday we met one of your best friends, Patrick, at Chuck E Cheese for lunch. Then in the afternoon, we had two of your other best friends, Olivia and Neil, over to play. You are excited to be 7!
So far this summer you have enjoyed going to tennis camp, basketball camp, VBS, swimming, and playing with friends. We've gone to the zoo once and will go many more times. You've also had several birthday parties to attend, which is always fun. We're also planning a visit to see our good friends in Austin and maybe head to the coast for a few days.
Your 7 year check-up went great. Here are your stats!
57.5 lbs (80%) - weight
51.5 inches (90%) - height
We got your test scores back from this past year. To be honest, I don't think they should test young kids. You scored on age level for reading and scored 5th grade in math! Math is definitely one of your strengths and you love it. You scored 99% out of the whole nation in 1st graders. The tests were done through Abeka, which is known to be a rigorous curriculum. The really cool thing is, is that you taught yourself division and fractions. We'll practice them but your actual math work this past year was grade level. You are smart and gifted.
Some other things about you that I love include, your willingness to include others. You don't like to see anyone left out. Your friends appreciate how kind you are and giving. You want to please God and do what the Bible says. I can see your faith forming and it makes Dad and I happy. You say really nice prayers before meals and bed. You are kind to your siblings and they both look up to you. You are helpful around the house and are learning and growing great.
