He's an awesome big brother to Ben. He is absolutely crazy about him. He can't seem to get over the cute factor of Ben and gets so tickled by him. He carries him around, plays with him, loves to babysit him while I'm busy, likes to hold him on the couch before bed, and has to give him lots of kisses before bed.
He has a love/hate relationship with Jack. Depending on the day, he is either being a super big brother, encouraging Jack, wrestling with him, playing and just having fun together, or they're arguing over every little thing. I do see hope for their future, though!
He is a sports fanatic. He loves to play and watch any and every sport. His favorites are soccer and football. He played baseball this year and did pretty well but thought it was boring. His best sport is soccer and gives 110% in every game. He is known to be aggressive and have endless energy out there. He has also gotten into golf lately, which started because of his older cousins taking him golfing a lot. He has begged us for two years now to play flag football with all of his buddies, so we are going to try that out this fall. Between soccer, football, and Jack starting soccer, it's going to be a busy fall semester! We will try not to do more than one sport at a time in the future, but it will be hard!
He is a social butterfly and would love to have a friend over every hour of every day if he could. He likes to be in charge too much and the one making up the rules to the games, but besides that, I love to watch him with his friends. They usually go from sport to sport and have lots of friendly competition.
He loves school and loves to learn. He does not like homework, because it prevents him from being outside playing, but he is always enthusiastic about what he's learning at school. His first grade teacher was very creative and good at challenging the kids. He has a talent for writing, and she did a lot with that. He's an all around good student, who loves math (his favorite), is a great reader, and is really interested in history. He is most passionate about recess, though, and loves to tell me the stats if the playground competitions they have daily.
He is sweet, thoughtful, kind, sensitive, tender-hearted, smart, perceptive, creative, funny, serious at times, fun-loving, laughs a lot, curious, persistent, argues his point of view to no end, somewhat mischievous, loves to be with older kids, wants to be grown up, adventurous, brave, and very active.
