Following in his sisters’ footsteps, here is Morrison’s journal page. It won’t really be his own personal musings, obviously. We just thought that would be a catchy title. Follow along to see what life as a boy is like in this household – something new and different for sure!
(FYI, because I write so much about these kids, their pages are all broken into yearly chunks so as not to crash my site. I’ll keep the current year on the main page for ease of use. Enjoy!)

Happy New Year, skittle! You guys actually got off school today for an extreme cold warning, and you were thrilled! You all did an amazing job together and played restaurant all day, with a couple of you alternating servers and chefs. You made menus, set the table, and played cafe music and everything! I loved watching you guys orchestrate it all as I worked alongside you at the dining room table.

You had your Little League baseball evaluations today, and you came home so excited! You said it was the best one yet, none of your partners were jerks, you did great, you saw some of your friends, and 3 of your coaches from last spring/summer’s team were there. I would be ecstatic if you were on the Hot Rods again, but I’m not sure if they have the same teams year after year or not. But either way, I can’t wait to watch you back on the field this spring, and you can’t wait to get out there!

You and the twins are all home sick today. Avit had a fever at bedtime last night and Nat had diarrhea in the middle of the night, then you had diarrhea this morning, too. We’re definitely not taking that to school! I hope you all feel better after a day of good rest at home.

You’re on the Red Wings for Little League this spring and summer! The Hot Rods aren’t the same team with your coach from last year, so I wasn’t bummed that you didn’t get placed on that one again. You’ve had just one practice so far that Daddy took you to, and you both said your coach is really good and you had a lot of fun. I can’t wait for the games to start and to see you back in action on the field!

You are such an amazing helper. You’ve been in heaven helping Daddy clean up the next-door garage and work in the “man cave,” and you’ve been really getting into cooking lately. You’ve wanted to make smash burgers forever, so I’m letting you make those for your dinner-of-choice to help with this week. Then today you told me you want to make a different egg dish every day over spring break. Yesterday you made eggs in a hole, which you made me for lunch today, too, and this morning you made an omelet. Then this afternoon you looked up how to make hollandaise sauce because you want to tackle eggs Benedict next. I love it! I hope you all pick up skills in the kitchen like Daddy, because I never did and I hate to cook. You can all be my personal chefs. 
I love you so much, skittle, and am intrigued watching you grow into your big-kid self.
