Enoch turned 6!!!

Enoch turned 6 on March 16th. What a big boy now!!

This past year, Enoch did amazing in kindergarten which is Chinese immersion.

As Enoch's teachers said, he is reading between 2nd to 4th graders' reading levels. He is a fast reader and can comprehend well at the same time. Enoch is in accelerated reading club where only a few of the kids get elected into. He is doing great in it. 

Drawing is Enoch's another passion. He can be absorbed in drawing for a long long time. Thus our house has almost unlimited printer papers that we stocked up. Michael and Peter had gotten into loving drawing as well. I like it when they sit around the table to draw, cause that gives me some quiet time to do stuff. Enoch pays lots of attention to details and can draw and cut very precisely. He is such a perfectionist!

Recently Enoch started to write "books" with chapters. He would cut paper and staple them together to make book pages. And then write stories on the "books". His favorite books to write is about our dog Daisy. He would come to us and very proudly read the "book" to us. 

His Chinese teacher said that Enoch is also really good with math, since math is taught in Chinese. Sometimes he would do math problems at home by himself just for fun. And sign his Chinese name on the practice paper. 

Enoch played soccer and baseball during the past school year. He likes baseball better than soccer, mainly because baseball is less competitive than soccer. Sports is not Enoch's strong suit and he often tells me that "mommy, I just don't like sports." But we make him at least try it out. 

This past year was really challenging on Enoch's nose condition. All the moving around sure didn't help with his rhinitis. We tried a lot of different things, and went through a lot of frustrations, but we are so glad that the nasal saline rinse seems to work the best for him. Being able to breath, eat and sleep, function normally instead of having to wipe your nose very so often definitely helped to increase his life quality. That is a big accomplishment for sure!

Enoch is such an intelligent, creative and sweet boy. We love him and are so proud to be his parents. Happy 6th birthday Enoch!
