Alister is our little analyst. He loves to figure out how things work. He is a little engineer. We took the boys on a carousel a while back and Adam asked him if he was having fun. He said "Yes!" enthusiastically, "I figured out how we go up and down." looking up at the top watching the mechanism control the horse. So yes, his fun is different than mine or Corbin's. However, Adam likes to know how everything works as well. They are truly similar in many ways.
Alister is loving yet selective on whom he interacts with. He enjoys making you laugh and making funny faces. Everyone who comes to know him absolutely adores him and his quiet, yet fun energy.
We get compliments all the time at church on how well behaved he is in class. That he sits and listens and answers questions. That he has some very thoughtful answers. When religion and faith are a huge part of your life, that is one of the best compliments you can receive.
Alister may have taken his time to learn to crawl, walk and talk (which was hard at the time, but now I'm completely fine with him taking his time) - but he is truly smart and wise for his age. He blows me away at times at what he thinks about and what he spends his time doing. Like any normal boy, he enjoys cars, superheroes and playing outside. But, the activities he spends most of his time on our building legos (and anything else that can be built) and doing puzzles. Alister his incredible with puzzles. It is one of his all time favorite activities to do. He will patiently sit for an hour or more working on a puzzle - or multiple.
He is genuine in himself. He is a thinker. Always has been. Even as a baby, you could just see the gears quietly turning in his head. He is an awesome big brother. He is an amazing son. He loves his family. He loves Jesus and church.
Recently, he told me "I love being me." Some of the best words a parent could ever hear.
We love you being you, too, Alister.
