Today you've reached another milestone- double digits! I can't believe it's been an entire decade since you made me a mom! It's been a wonderful ride and I've enjoyed every minute of it (except maybe a few days of your terrible twos!). Here are a few things I want to remember about you as you start another decade of life:
- You are almost 5 feet tall and weigh about 80 pounds. It won't be long before you are taller than me! You wear size 10/12 clothes and size 7 1/2 shoes.
- You are an incredible student and continue to make straight A's. You love math and it's rare that you don't have your nose in a book. You finished all the Harry Potter books this year and all of the Percy Jackson series as well.
- You are a pretty good eater and will usually at least try new foods without complaint. Your favorite foods are spaghetti, cheeseburgers (plain and dry), chips and queso/salsa, tacos, fruit, eggs and bacon, pizza, and chicken alfredo.
- You are a very loyal friend and still enjoy hanging out with Robert, Cole, and Kaden.
- Your favorite thing to do after school is play computer/video games.
- You still enjoy playing baseball with Spitfire. You play pitcher and 3rd base. You also loved playing basketball this past fall.
- You love to wrestle with daddy before bed. And when Ryan comes over to play, you love to wrestle with him too!
- You are a great helper around the house and rarely complain when I ask you to help with chores.
- 4th grade hasn't been an easy year for you. You've struggled with a little bit of bullying and a lot of anxiety that stems from learning how to process daddy's MS. We've gotten you some help in the past month and you're doing much better. It's been hard to watch you go through a tough year but you are a very brave kid and I know it will make you stronger in the future.
You are the greatest ten year old I know and it's such a privilege to be your mom. I love watching you grow into a young man and I know you are going to do great things in your life! Thank you for being such a blessing to our family!
I love you to the moon and back, Mom
