Hunter

Well, Hunter is now in 2nd grade.  Everyday I ask him how is day was and everyday he says, "Miserable".  How did I get such a pessimist for a child?  He loves recess though and this year is playing sports more - yeah!  He really loves to play soccer most days.  This past week was a huge accomplishment for him and us - he let us buy him shoes with shoe laces!!!  I didn't think this day would ever come, it is funny how it is the little things that mean the most to you.  This year Hunter is experiencing a girl liking him.  He told me how he can't stand this girl telling him everyday that she loves him.  I asked him what he said back to her and he said, "I don't even know what to say to that!".  He said that he then tries to tell her jokes to distract her.  A few weeks ago Spencer asked Hunter if he wanted to be baptised and they talked about all of the covenants he would make.  He thought for a while, and then asked, "If I don't get baptised, will I still get the Holy Ghost?"  Spencer told him no and he said, "Well then, I want to get baptised".  I love that he is getting older now and starting to really grasp the gospel.
