Things that Tate is doing right now:

• He adores reading, especially fantasy novels. 
• He recently finished the Harry Potter series and for his birthday wanted a Harry Potter party
• More often then not he stays up wayyyyy to late reading. He has a problem putting a book down once he has started.  He gets way into the story and just wants to know how it ends. (I have no idea where he gets that from ;))
• He loves riding his bike.
• He is such a loving and caring big brother.  He is always doing things for Gideon or building train tracks for Gideon to play with. He loves his sisters VERY much.  In fact he got an award at school for being so kind to his sister which he was told is not common.  
• He loves to build things, especially massive train tracks that take up the entire front room.
• He is such a spiritually intune child, and very much loves the gospel.  He has a very strong testimony and understanding of Gospel principles.
• He is obedient and can always be counted on to help out around the house and always get his chores done. 
• He is very selfless, many times he will take his whole allowance to buy things for his sisters. 
• He is very tenderhearted and affectionate.  You can break his heart buy saying unkind things or yelling at him.  He loves to cuddle and be close to those he loves. 

We are so dang proud of this little guy.  It is truly an honor to have the chance to be his mother.  He is such a kind soul with so much love and understanding, you can't help but want to be a better person when you are around him.  He is so wise beyond his years, and constantly amazes me with his level intelligence.  I love this boy so much and am so proud to call him my son.
