My 9 Year Old

Yesterday at 7:47 am, my oldest turned 9 years old. Last night I pulled him up onto my lap, which is getting much harder now, and told him about the day he was born. Where did the time go? It just seemed like yesterday that he was just a tiny little baby. Now he's growing up, making friends, going to school and has his own special personality. But the change has been good. We sure love our Josh!

Josh and Ethan playing his new game. Connect 4 X 4. Or something like that!

This year Josh wanted cupcakes for dessert. So we got 9 cupcakes, shaped them like the number nine and let him make a wish! Over all I think he had a pretty great day. Here are 9 things that I love about Josh:

1. He's always willing to share
2. He's super smart
3. He's got a tender heart
4. He's a great big brother
5. He's doing great in school
6. He still will give me hugs and kisses
7. He's very creative
8. He's helpful
9. He's funny
