This week my son turns ten years old. I can’t believe it. I am officially one of those old mothers who crows, “It goes by so fast!” and “He’ll always be my baby!”
In honor of his tenth birthday, I present ten things I love about my ten-year-old son, Will.
1. He rocks socks with his Crocs and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about that.
2. He has the loveliest reddish-brown hair. Very distinct. No one knows where it comes from (and yes, I’ve heard all the mailman jokes!)
3. He’s better at Everyday Mathematics, and pretty much all mathematics, than I am.
4. He can be so kind to his little sister. (Notice I wrote “can be”!)
5. He has no fear of chatting with adults. He freely converses with any adult he meets: sales clerks, wait staff, teachers, coaches, neighbors, etc.
6. He is passionate about ice hockey and video games.
7. He has professed his belief in God and Jesus.
8. He loves sugar and carbs. He has tried raw tomatoes five times in his life and every time he has thrown up. (TMI?!?)
9. He made me a mom.
10. He’s my son, a gift from God, and everything he is supposed to be!
Happy birthday, Will! I love you!
A nice way to celebrate your love! Happy birthday!

Awesome, I think we should remind our kids of what we love about them every time we think of it. It’s so easy to get lost in the daily grind and forget what makes them special and awesome. Nice post!

what a great idea for a post and way to highlight your little guy. It sounds like he and my oldest could be brothers, except for the red hair 🙂

Sweet. My daughter HATES tomatoes too. Just can’t stomach them . How lovely that your boy can be kind to his sister. My son has not yet mastered that, and they’re both adults now! How great that your son is a little man of faith already. That will serve him well !in life. Kids can be such a blessing!
