Dougherty Arts Center II

Drakeson couldn't wait for his first day of school at the DAC like last year and the year before.  I trimmed his hair and gave him a brand new pair of light up dragon crocs this morning to wish him well.  Here's a snapshot of what's new with him, but for the most part, Drakeson is still very much Drakeson.

He still climbs everything.
His favorite color is still purple, but now he likes pink too.
He still loves He-Man and Darf Laydrr.
He still hangs out with Orange Mouse.
He still loves having long hair.
He still hates hand dryers.
He also hates roller coasters and being in the dark.
He still needs naps.
He still wants all the moinas he can have, but his sister dominates that scene.
He's still a terrific big brother.
In fact, he and Milli hold hands and give hugs and kisses every day.
He still loves listening to stories.
Now he's learning to read with Dadas.
His current favorite book is Calvin & Hobbes.
He says things like, "What?  Come on." or "That's crazy!" or a prolonged "O M G."
He also says things like "grampire" and "gollila."
(That's "vampire" and "gorilla" in English.)
A few weeks ago, Drakeson started piano lessons at Clavier-Werke School of Music.
He also recently started the Intro Swim Team at Nitro Swim School.
He's been biking the 3-mile loop around Lake Austin while George and I jog.
His most irritating qualities are ignoring his parents and whining.
He has incredible persistence and determination.
He generally aims to please, and shows great pride when he's accomplished something difficult.
Drakeson is and always has been extremely loving and affectionate.
I'm very, very proud of him, and he knows it.
