Our Dax is 7...
We love our May Day Babe with our whole hearts - as does everyone who meets him.
And here is a list of just SEVEN of the reasons why...
1. He is one cool customer. He rarely gets flustered or angry. He is so good at rolling with any situation. He is quick to find common ground with others and quick to point out a compromise when one is available. He is even-keeled, calm, and easy-breezy but always tuned in.
2. He is kind. He easily shares. He often suggests a win/win solution. He's the kid that gets everyone involved in the play ground in an epic game of tag. He is sweet and empathetic and happy.
3. He is smart. Dax not only reads all the lines effortlessly, but he has an innate ability to read between them as well. He picks up on social cues and his emotional intelligence is far beyond any seven-year-old I've ever met.
4. He is athletic. That little tanned body moves on his command exactly when and how he tells it to. He is fun to watch on the field or the court and he practices the skills he learns often on his own time and by his own motivation.
5. He is not in any hurry to stop playing. It drives me crazy when it's time to work - but as my Mama preaches, "Play IS work for young minds". And it's a good reminder for me to put down the rags and the toilet scrubber sometimes, and just go out and "pull a Dax" and play.
6. He is social. He says the most hilarious things. He likes to hear and tell stories. His laugh lights up a room. He is the center of activity and a recruiter of friends wherever he goes.
7. He is a jokester. Little dude likes to pull pranks. He is sneaky and stealth - always has been. He will go to great lengths to pull a practical joke and always has a riddle on the ready thanks to Siri or Alexa.
Dax Man - You came into our lives on May Day - the introduction of Summer. The time when we all look forward to the warm, long days full of sun and water and fun. So as usual, Dax Man, your timing, was spot on.
Love you Millions, Baby Love.
