Please indulge me today while I introduce you to my oldest son on his birthday!
George is TEN today! We’ve been parents for a DECADE now!
Here are some things that make him special:
George is curious! He is always thinking deep thoughts about the future with questions like, “Mom, how will I know when I meet the person I’m supposed to marry?” And, “How will I know how to find a house and pay for it when I’m older?”
George is protective! He’s also always looking out for his brothers. He won’t let them walk anywhere NEAR the edge of the pool because he worries about them falling in. He told me he loves having a baby brother but wants him to grow up quick so he’s strong and won’t get hurt!
George LOVES electronics. I recently told him to go outside to play, so he took my computer and sat outside with it. I closed the computer and explained that playing outside means “No electronics. It means running, riding your bike or playing ball!”
George and I are learning how to edit videos and in the process of creating a youtube channel. However, he recently created and uploaded a little video to my channel that’s had about 50,000 views! (You can watch it here)
George loves to laugh! While reading books or watching movies, he is usually the first to catch the humor and laugh so hard that it’s contagious! (He gets this from his dad and Nana). George also makes US laugh. Recently he asked me if he was born when we lived in the brown house. I said, “No, you were born when we lived in the white house.” He paused for a minute, then his eyes got LARGE and he said excitedly,
“My DAD used to be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!???”
“Sorry, George, not that White House. However, one day, YOU might be the president of the United States. You do have a presidential name and were born to do GREAT THINGS!”
Happy 10th Birthday, you are loved!
