the over achiever

Hawken, my sweet lovey boy. He is so smart and curious. He makes us proud and always makes the right choice. He thinks of others before he thinks of himself. He loves to snuggle and when he has a nightmare he cuddles up with us, or one of his siblings. He kicks in his sleep, and is just about as active as he is while awake. He is creative, and purposeful in his art. He loves animals, deeply, and cares for their well being. He is connected to the earth and loves to watch and help things to grow. He is such a great brother and takes care of his siblings. He's a natural leader. He is naturally talented at so many things, but doesn't like to try things that he might fail at.  He loves routine, and balance, and schedules. He likes to be in charge and to be my helper. He is patient, and more mature than he needs to be. He is my FAVORITE 8 year old.
