This guy

It's the same story just a different tune.  In two days he'll dare to turn six.  He'll step into roomier clothes and continue to surprise me with all that he is becoming.  I wish I could adequately express what a phenomenal person Ian is.  Since his wee bitty days he has a light that doesn't seem to have a dimmer switch.  Even though he and I both know that those baby days are long gone he still humors me with a perfectly timed hug and a hint of baby talk.  He's so eager to please that I'm left praying that we won't take advantage of his easy demeaner.  His sensitivity is a gift and I pray that God will mold all those soft pieces into great strength.   I couldn't help but tear up as his teacher expressed what a joy he is to have in class.  Not that I'm surprised.  I've known for awhile that he would be a quiet but strong leader wherever he goes.  I am so head over heels in love with this guy and on the edge of my seat to see all that God will do through him.
