Caption: A YEAR OF COURAGE 2016
Caption: William,
you are courageous.
Caption: We saw this virtue emerge on your first birthday.
You snuffed out your single candle with your bare fingers.
Picture
Caption: Since then, you have fearlessly tried new things.
Picture
Caption: Gymnastics!
Picture
Caption: Soccer.
Picture
Caption: And of course riding
atop Wolke!
Caption: You stretched your brain...
Picture
Picture
Caption: And your braun...
Picture
Caption: On stage...
Picture
Caption: ...and in nature.
Picture
Caption: Your courage has really grown
in a few areas as you
overcame your fears...
Picture
Caption: From scared...
Picture
Caption: ...to soaring!
Picture
Picture
Caption: From "I can't..."
Picture
Caption: ...to "I just did!"
Caption: And your fearlessness in the water had returned...
Picture
Caption: With a splash!
Caption: One event that helped your courage grow in big ways was...
The birth of Quin!
Picture
Caption: You were an active member of the birth team. And helped Mama remember to push!
Picture
Caption: And this fall, you courageously entered kindergarten!
Picture
Caption: On the first day, you even grabbed the hand of new friend who was looking a bit nervous.
Picture
Caption: You gotta be brave to be part of this family....
Picture
Caption: Dada has loved to help you find your superhero!
Picture
Caption: You know you can always stand on his shoulders.
Picture
Caption: That is, when you're not flying...
