my oldest is 9.
nine!
his last year in single digits.
his last year in the primary grades.
nine means a little bit later bedtime.
and an extra chore added to the list.
nine means a bit more homework.
and more expections.
but nine is awesome!
nine is still a sweet, handsome guy
who loves life.
who loves to be home and to play.
play legos.
play wii.
play ds.
play anything involving his vast assortment of pretend weaponry.
nine is obsessed with star wars,
and legos
and wii
and ds.
nine loves to swim
and practice martial arts.
and loves to play imaginary games
and baseball.
and laugh at slapstick and potty humor.
nine is a loyal friend and
loving brother (when he's not kicking the crud out of the other brother).
nine is a rule-follower
and a responsible student
and positive role model.
nine is silly and funny and super smart.
and inquisitive and enthusiastic.
nine is a traveler and a reader and a snuggler.
and serious and thoughtful and full of dreams and ideas and theories.
nine is at his happiest when he's home with his family,
playing and talking and laughing.
nine is still our boonarooni and cheese,
and our special guy
and we are so so proud of who he is and who he is becoming.
