So my boy turned six and he is just the best little thing. I have about 82 hundred, all out of order, pictures I want to post of him from the last year, so I'm gonna.
Atticus really is such an incredible sweetheart. People compliment him to me all the time and I just have to agree. He is perfect. (And a turd sometimes.)
This picture was taken because he saw me wearing my Yankees shirt and ran to change into his so we could match.
He wrote their names. "Wruf" for Ruth is pretty wonderful.
Atticus graduated from our ward co-op preschool. He was the only boy in our group but he didn't seem to mind.
He doesn't like to do his hair. If he doesn't have school or church he'll wear a hat.
So, he's super smart this boy, but he still has some words that he pronounces adorably. He says Hill-lul for hill, Jejus, for Jesus, Amilal for animal, and due to reading it this way, he says League-uh for league. Oh! and he calls them smashed potatoes and I think I may always have to call them that.
So muscly
He loves to read and charges through books meant for for kids in second grade.
Obviously he is one slick dresser.
He loves to learn. One of his favorites for a while was learning about space. He spent a lot of time drawing planets and black holes.
This is a miracle. I think this may be the only time he's just randomly fallen asleep without specifically laying down to do so. (Or while in the car.)
No brother could be better to his little sister. He loves teaching her things. Anything he learns in school or just assumes he has knowledge of. He takes care of her and calls her sweetie in a cute little voice. I love it. (He is also pretty bossy)
Just my weird kid.
When he's doing his chores, he entertains himself by singing loudly or reciting stories to himself.
You can see all his ribs and every bump of his spine if he's not wearing a shirt. But still this.
He was having a grumped-out time at Aunt Jenny's birthday part. He was very reluctant to let me cheer him up.
More taking care of Jonny. She was struggling to wake up from a nap and wanted her "Yeah-Yeah".
The boy can spend hours alone playing with his toy cars. And he loves looking for the coolest cars when we're out driving. His favorite kind of car is a Tesla. He thinks because they can self-drive, he can get one for himself. A ward friend let him check out his new Tesla and even gave him a ride.
I love his big laughing smile.
Just showing off all his manly toys fro Grandpa.
This circuit game is one of his favorites. Future engineer. He is always bringing me different things he's built.
Handsome
This cute thing hanging outside his kindergarten classroom. This boy LOVES school as we knew he would. He is sad when there are days off and loves his teachers and friends. He also really loves his music class at school. So much so that he will tell me about composers and has asked several times for a violin. (He wants a violin most because he learned they make kid-sized violins.)
He is amused by something here.
I adore this boy.
He's picked up on a few Boston words, like calling the drinking fountain the Bubbler. He is also pretty good at mimicking the Boston accent.
Notes found on my fridge.
I wasn't even up one cold Saturday morning and he came to my room ready for the snow.
He wrote a rap. The words on the divider in this old binder said RAP so obviously that meant he needed to write one. And he was SO proud of himself. He told us the "wa wa wa's" were the sound of the guitar.
"I am the coolest. Wa wa wa wa. I am coolest ever. Who is coolest? Me, Atticus. Yeah me. Wa wa wa wa...."
He's Lego Batman
Great hair.
He got a two wheeler for Christmas. No desire from him to take off the training wheels yet.
I am constantly finding just one random discarded sock somewhere in the house. He leaves the other one on.
Bathtub barbershop.
