Dylan 7 1/2 years old

Dylan is a boy now...no more "little" left in him. He has grown almost 2 inches since his birthday and has gained a bunch of weight and has just filled out. He physically has changed so much this year but also his maturity. I see such a difference in his ability to have self control & make good choices, I am so proud of him and the young man he is becoming!
 Dylan doesn't have many toys that he plays with consistently but Lego's is the exception. He loves lego's, sets up lego battles with all his guys and is always building stuff. He has a system to it all and gets very frustrated when one of his sisters knock over (on accident of course :)) his guys. After all it does take a lot of time to arrange all those little guys.
 He also enjoys building stuff. He built this palm branch fort the other day while I was trimming. He cut the sharp stems off with the small saw and arranged it for him to have a little fort area. He will also build stuff out of wood and loves to use the toolbox that he was given 2 Christmas' ago. He is very creative with his thinking and smart on how to "make things work".  He is all boy, likes boy things...spying on the girls, playing basketball & baseball, likes video games & just running around!
The other thing he really likes to do is put on his video game music and play his instruments to it. I have to be honest and say that it drives me nuts because it is the same little song over and over and over again and he loves to turn the volume way up so he can still hear over what he is playing. :) I'm just glad he enjoys doing music stuff!

Dylan is a leader.
A do'er.
A thinker.
Shy until he is comfortable.
Thrives from encouragement and praise.
A huge eater (he eats more than me already)!
A great big brother.
A great cleaner.
A hard worker.
Committed, doesn't give up.
Likes the hall light on when going to sleep (at least there is still a little bit of "little" in him :))
Get's frustrated when he can't do something right.
Tender when no one is looking.

My prayer for Dylan is that he grows into a man who is a leader of goodness & grace.
I am so proud of the young man that Dylan is becoming.
I love him so much!
