Whoa! My Firstborn Is Now Ten!

I can't believe it! My firstborn has now entered (without too much trauma from Mom, Dad, Addison, or Aidan) into the double digits of life. Alexander Reilly Wood turned ten recently! Because of this amazing milestone, I have recently had an excellent opportunity to ponder and reminisce on many thoughts and memories of why I love my ten year old son.

Ten Reasons Why I Love My Ten Year Old

1. Alex is a very good helper. He "usually" is willing to help without much complaint.


2. Every time I call his name, he answers promptly, "Yes, Mommy!" (I LOVE THIS!)


3. We've ALWAYS said that Alex is an old soul in a little body.


4. He is a very bright boy. Alex is like a sponge. His brain takes on so much information. It's amazing! He's even started designing a working website. What a "nerdo", huh? (You know that I love you, Alex!)


5. Alex is very kind.


6. He is so funny! He has and understands the mature sense of humor. (Kids may not get him, but adults find him hilarious!)


7. Alex is a great big brother to Addison and Aidan. (I wish I had an older brother like him!)


8. When he sees new words, he says funny things like "Ray-dish" for radish and "Baby-lon" for Babylon.


9. Alex loves to read! He gets lost in his books. He read the last "Harry Potter" book in less than 24 hours.


10. He is an amazing young man destined for many great things!
    

This is only a small sampling of why I love my son! I am certain if I had more time, I could have come up with many more reasons why I love being Alex's mom!

Blogging?

I was recently challenged by a friend of mine to create a blog this summer. It has now become my summer project while on hiatus from school. I have found it quite difficult to think of anything to write about, but... I am up for the challenge. I will start blogging!

So... here goes!
