Dallin is now a big brother and not the baby of the family. He was probably the most excited about getting a little sister and his anticipation was contagious. He had all his friends at school just as excited as he was and took pictures of her to show everyone. And now that she is here...well a little less excited. He is very cute with her and will play with her constantly. He is protective as a big brother should be, and always wants to be her favorite. On the other hand, she has taken his spot next to me on the couch when we watch movies, she always gets what she wants, and the list goes on and on. He is learning,growing and stretching into his new roll as a big brother, sometimes those growing pains can hurt...he is in the thick of it. He is also a pre-teen. Need I say more?
Dallin has completely quit all sports, he is just not interested. We are saddened by his decision and think he has so much potential, but realize that he will grow and find other talents as he matures. Dallin is very social. He loves to hang out with his piers and has a robust and hearty laugh. It is a joy to hear. He is sensitive and I often get stories from teachers about him helping the disabled at recess at school. He wants to adopt several children when he is an adult. He is very artistic, this year I got a beautiful painting for Christmas. He is still in so many ways my baby boy, and hopefully he realized sooner than later that he is irreplaceable.
