Happy 7th Birthday Ty!

I'd like to start something I've seen others do for birthdays.
I'm going to list the 7 things I love about my birthday boy.

1) I love his red hair. It's the first thing noticed about him when he was born
and it still makes him unique in our family.

2) I love it when he tries to hide his smile and just can't do it.

3) I love that he loves to play with his sisters.

4) I love his creativity. He may not have his father's athleticism, but he can build awesome things out of anything...he used toys once to create a robot, builds awesome temples with blocks, he can do anything with legos and he's very creative when it comes to drawing.

5) I love that he loves to learn. Math is his favorite subject. Out of the 5 reading levels in 1st grade, he's in the highest. He gets 100% on every above-level spelling test he's given. He just did a powerpoint presentation to his class the other day about Albertosaurus dinosaurs. It was so fun to watch. He loved answering all the questions his classmates had for him.

6) I love his sense of humor. He's always cracking us up. Last night we took him out to dinner for his birthday and he got a free ice cream sundae. As he was eating it he said "Do you guys hate me because I get to eat this and you don't?"

7) I love that he always wants to do what's right. One time, we went to Macayo's Mexican Restaurant to pick up take out. They sent us to the bar to pick it up and he asked me what the lady behind the bar was making. I told him it was some sort of alcohol. He was shocked and asked if everything in there was alcohol. I said yes. So now he thinks the place is a den of iniquity. This is the picture he drew the next day. It says No Drugs, there's a little alcohol room and outside people are smoking. I thought it was funny.


Happy Birthday Ty! I love you!
