Daniel turned seven on December 9. I picked him up early from school and took him to his favorite donut shop for a snack. We had family over for dinner and ordered food from Salvatores, an annual tradition.
Daniel is in the first grade and has learned so much over the last year! He can read very well, has made new friends, and loves Math. He also likes to draw and create race tracks for his Hot Wheels. We are so proud of how well he is doing in school.
Daniel loves spelling and has a spelling test each week. Up until December 2, he had made 15/15 plus the bonus word on each and every first grade spelling test. As I projected he would be if he didn't get 100%, he was pretty devastated when he made a 14/15 (he still got the bonus word right). Daniel rewrote the spelling word he missed and resolved to get 15/15 on every test in the future.
Daniel currently plays basketball and has been taking batting practice to prep for baseball in the spring (the spring season starts in early February). He played flag football in the fall, and loved that as well. He is looking forward to joining the swim team again in the summer.

The following day we had a kid birthday party at the new urban air
trampoline park. 14 of his friends from school came to celebrate with
him. We are so proud of our seven-year-old and everything here has
accomplished!
