3rd grade letter...

At the meet and greet with Drew's new teacher, she asked us parents to write her a letter describing our child. I was thrilled for this little project!
My letter about Drew…
I feel like there is so much I could tell you about this boy. He loves to help; it keeps him busy and gives him a feeling of accomplishment. He thrives on competition; it’s probably what drives him most. If he doesn’t win, he will keep trying until he does. He is a creature of rewards and positive reinforcement. You will get what you want out of him using these approaches. I’ve tried them all. He is much smarter than he gives himself credit for. He is naturally a rock star at math; however, getting him to read is quite a chore. His handwriting is sloppy, but his ideas are big…and usually funny. He will ask A LOT of questions because he wants to make sure he understands; his mind moves so fast he often forgets…and frankly, sometimes he just isn’t listening. If you are patient with him and tell him how proud you are of him…you will soon be his favorite person in this world, and he will treat you as such! He is a people person through and through. He’s loud, a little obnoxious sometimes, and has the biggest heart of any 8 year old I know. He gave his allowance straight from his wallet to a family holding a sign on the side of the road a few weeks ago. He plays travel baseball- third base, loves video games, riding his 4-wheeler and fast cars. He has built a mud truck with his dad and loves “mud boggin”! He’s not a good sleeper, is a picky eater and is a self-declared “Debater”. Maybe we have an attorney on our hands. When he was diagnosed with ADHD in Kindergarten, Matt and I made a commitment to never let him think this was an excuse, a hinder or a label that would hold him back. There is no doubt in my mind that God will use all of his energy to move mountains one day. This is our Drew. I hope you will love him as much as we do. Call us anytime. We are all in this together!
