Kayson's 11th Birthday

Yet another year has passed...  and now we have an 11 year old.  WHAT??
We woke up Christmas morning... early.  The kids were up early - like 6:30 early.  Not cool!  ha.  We made them 'chill' for about 30 minutes just because!!! 

Finally...  Santa gifts were revealed.  

Anyway, Kayson seemed happy...  gave hugs and was happy it was his birthday (and Christmas), like every year.  

The day always seems to be so rushed, and mixed together...  which is unfortunate for him.  But it was a good day. 

Kayson is definitely growing up...  still learning a lot about maturing, but he's getting there.  His 5th grade class has just recently went through a Human Growth & Development series of classes... which was interesting.  He had good questions, and some interesting comments...  definitely not mature enough for some of it, but it was good. 

  • He's smart, and school is good for him. 
  • He loves his friends and his family... even his sister, although they fight like cats and dogs sometimes - but then the next minute, they love each other and are talking so kindly to one another.  It's like they are bi-polar!  ha.  Typical siblings, I'm sure.
  • He's getting better at basketball...  it's been fun to watch him. 
  • He's still got some learning to do when it comes to being responsible at home... and just helping out.  This is his mother's fault (yes, MINE).  I do everything... and I'm trying to teach him to step up a little.  
  • He's growing, but still skinny!  I'm anxious to see officially how much he weighs and has grown.  I feel like he's taller, but still nothing compares to some of his friends.  
  • Shoe size - 5.5. He jumped BIG over the last 6 months or so!
  • Clothes size - Youth Medium for pants (solely because of his tiny tummy/waist), and Youth Large is most tops, depends on the brand.
  • He still loves video games - Fortnite and Madden (are main ones right now)
  • He's a people-pleaser still... however, he has a very stubborn side to him now as he's gotten older and also gets mad sometimes!  
I love this kid...  and want to be close to him and have him know how much I love him.  (seems silly to write that down, but it's so true).  Being a mom to him and Cora - I only want the best for them - Pray they are happy, healthy and safe.  

No snow this year for his birthday - instead 55 degrees with a beautiful sunset!
