Our baby boy turns 10 today! I can't even remember what our days were like before he came into the world. It has been so amazing to watch him as he goes through each phase, from being a cuddly baby to being a tween. A tween! It's crazy!
Reed's interests have expanded over the last year, he's now really into football. He still pores over the newspaper every morning, but now instead of sticking to the comics, he also studies the sports page. He's into stats like you wouldn't believe. He also loves playing Madden on Xbox – and when he disappears into the basement for hours, it turns out that he likes making his own lineups and doing drafts as much as he likes playing the actual game, if not more.
Reed still reads as if his life depends on it. Today, for example, he was excited about having gotten new books yesterday so he was up sometime around 5 a.m. to read a few of them. We still haven't had the greatest success with getting him to read non-fiction books, but hopefully that will come in time.
Ten years old. The time has breezed by. When the typical household noisiness that goes along with two elementary-school age kids sometimes drives us crazy, I try to remind myself that happy noise won't be around forever. It's not going to be long before they're grown. So we'll try to keep our sanity amid the chaotic noise and enjoy every minute!
