Dane 4 1/2

Dane is growing up before our eyes.  He loves to hear stories about when he was a baby and we have fun looking back at old pictures and videos.  He is still my sensitive, sweet, sporty little Dane Train. As always, he is into every aspect of sports.  From the team mascots, to the players names and numbers, to various plays, positions and his favorite...buzzer beaters!  Basketball is his favorite and has been for forever.  He still doesn't like the idea of being on a team as he just likes to play.  He is currently doing hockey and is starting to get that competitive edge.  He loves riding his scooter and his bike now that the weather is warmer.  He has recently gotten more into drawing and enjoys making pictures for Matt and I.  His drawings are often sports related...shocker!!!  The other day was rough with Emmie, spills, etc. and Dane went and made me a card.  He will make up little projects using things around the house such as old containers and popsicle sticks.  As far as playing goes, he enjoys Legos and his basketball and football guys.  His writing is also getting pretty good and he likes to count to 100 and do simple math problems with his cousin, Allie.  Maddie and Dane are best of friends and they really do look our for each other. Maddie knows how to push his buttons and we are working on ways to handle that other than hitting...been our struggle these days.  His other interests are music and he has a sweet little singing voice that he clearly did not get from his daddy! :)  I feel SO blessed to call this sweet little guy my son.
