Can you believe this boy is 11 today???
Seriously, time flies.
His mom sends me pictures and a letter every year. This year, the letter talked about his traveling soccer league, his baseball team that won the championship, and his basketball team that still hasn't won a game in a season and a half.
She also sent a copy of his test scores. My little genius is in the 99th percentile in some of the math categories and also did really well on comprehension and vocabulary. But grammar? Just a little over the 25th percentile. He just can't be bothered with those insignificant details.
I called a little while ago to say happy birthday and apologized for only sending one gift this year. (I'd promised I would never combine his Christmas and birthday gifts; I felt bad having him so close to Christmas.) He called back about 5 minutes later and asked if the gift was for his birthday or Christmas. I was kind of confused and said both. 5 minutes later he called back again to thank me for the Kindle Fire. I should've known that's why he was asking; he's a crafty boy. He's really excited about it; he loves to read and has been wanting a Kindle. Now maybe he'll stop stealing his dad's iPad.
One other funny story: His teacher moved his desk next to hers because that boy cannot stop talking. (And yes, I realize that this seems to be an inherited problem.) She just told him that now she doesn't want to move him because she enjoys talking to him so much. He does have a great personality (except for that whole Republican thing).
Anyway, happy birthday to my handsome boy! I'm so proud of him!

I think the talking problem runs everywhere in the family (except for me, apparently).
Although I must thank you for being the spirited one in the family. Thank goodness SOMEONE in in a good mood!
Also, whenever you want to do yoga, let me know. I'm not working this break, for once :)
Love you!!
