I'm sorry, pixy0stix. I think about you so often, truly trying to appreciate what I have. DS is also 5 and would have been named Elyse if he was a girl, which makes your story that much more real to me. This weekend we went school shopping. He picked out an R2D2 backpack and a Paw Patrols lunch bag. Sunday we were at the pool with MIL and she was working to teach him to swim. He doesn't have it yet, but he's getting there.
