Today’s edition of the Ten on Tuesdays is all about the birthday boy…

1. You leave your Lego creations assembled and displayed prominently for all of us to enjoy.

4. You still let me come and have lunch with you at school. I suppose it helps that I brought cupcakes.

5. You have a great sense of humor and a belly laugh that warms my heart.

8. You take your assignments seriously and this year you learned to keep trying even when it’s hard.  Although it’s hard to watch you struggle, we are proud of the fine young man you are becoming.

2013-04-02 16.17.3610. Well, let’s be honest. Your Dad and I had absolutely no idea what we were doing when you started us on this journey called parenthood. We’ve made a lot of mistakes. Thanks for always being quick with a hug and overlooking our shortcomings.

Happy birthday. We love you.
