Our Michael turned 10 this week. He is by far our easiest child. He is also by far the child that gets hurt the most. I don't know why that is, he has the best balance as compared to the other children, but he is always hurting himself and falling and hitting his head and tripping. It has become a running joke in our family now, and even Michael laughs along.
Here are his school pictures. Michael knew before he gave them to me that I wasn't going to be too excited about the rubberband necklace in them. Needless to say, I will be ordering retakes.
Michael is in 4th grade, and he has the best teacher ever. He rarely gets homework and when he does it takes him only a few minutes to complete it. He loves to read and to play minecraft and clash of clans on the I-devices. He also loves to make rubberband bracelets and necklaces (see above). He has a whole slew of them that he takes off and puts on every single day. (Although I wish he would have forgotten to wear them on picture day).
He loves jokes and magic tricks, he is always telling us a joke. He also likes trivia, and doesn't appreciate it when someone says something that is not strictly true, especially if that someone is his little sister. He only likes jeans, he won't wear any canvas shorts or pants, he doesn't really like sports, but he is sure if we will get him into it, that he will like kickboxing. He plays the piano pretty well, his teacher has learned to only give him one or two songs a week and then he has them memorized by the time he sees her again the next week.
For his birthday, he wanted magic cards, a CTR ring and a watch, so that is what he got. Since this is an even-year birthday, he was allowed to have a party, and we took him and his friends to the drive in movies. We had never been, but it was an easy party to have, and he seemed to have a lot of fun. The movie we watched was "Free Birds," and that was probably the worst movie ever, but the boys seemed to enjoy it.
We are lucky to have Michael in our family.
