My Sunbeam

Today was Porter's first day in Primary as a Sunbeam. His teacher Sister Bergstrom wrote him a letter to welcome him to Sunbeams and asked that we write down a few things about Porter for her. I told her that Porter loves to wrestle with his Dad, help his Mom, and play with his little sister. I asked him was his favorite color was and he said orange, then I asked was his favorite thing to eat was and he said oranges so I wrote that down. Porter was so excited to be a Sunbeam in sacrament meeting he kept saying "I'm a big boy, I'm a big boy". When I took him to meet his teacher and sit down in Primary he wasn't the least bit afraid. Other kids where crying hysterically and clinging to their parents but not Porter he is so easy going when it comes to nursery and now Sunbeams. His teacher told us he was good and that he was her helper. He seemed to have a good time and loves to sing Popcorn Popping.

I would like to take a minute to talk about Porter without getting too sentimental because today turned out to be less traumatic/dramatic then I thought it would be. In some ways I am shocked that I now have a Sunbeam but in other ways I know what a big boy he is and so this wasn't a surprise. Porter loves to drive me crazy everyday and tries to push me to my limits but he also loves to cuddle when he wakes up from his nap and most of the time is a great helper. Porter is very smart and is always trying to figure things out. He is full of energy, has no fear, and is willing to try almost anything. Porter likes to talk a lot, is easy to understand and loves to try to be the boss, like telling me "be careful Mom". Porter started preschool this year so that milestone has also past, luckily we have 2.5 years until he starts kindergarten (which happens to be only a few months after my 30th birthday) so by then I will probably be a basket case. I love Porter very much and we are so lucky to have him in our family!
