Oliver

Oliver will turn 5 in a couple of months. He is an amazing artist, and draws all the time. He loves anything to do with volcanoes, earthquakes, lightning, and the solar system. He is an excellent reader – he can sound out words very quickly, and seems to read things by sight very well.

He just recently discovered the joy of swimming underwater, although he is still using his floaty suit – I would love to teach him how to swim, but when I take all four kids, it’s too hard for me to watch all of them, so I feel safer if he’s in his floaty suit. I bought him some goggles at Wal-Mart, and he loves swimming around looking under the water.

Oliver seems to be getting more mature lately. He has a great sense of humor and loves funny things.
