Our little Drew Buddy has turned eight! He wanted more than anything to have a few of his buddies over to celebrate. Although my energy level is less than stellar a week or two after Christmas, I conceded and allowed him to have six of his buddies come with us to the Museum of Curiosity.
I am obviously not around boys enough because their energy level blew my mind. They played so hard and never let up until I made them head to the car. Their sweaty hair and foreheads proved it.
Even the car ride home was full of energy. Drew was being the joker and all the boys were laughing their head off at him. I never see that side of Drew so it was kind of fun to watch it happen.
After arriving home we opened presents, had cupcakes and the boys continued to play until their parents arrived. Drew loved all of his presents. He got a star wars puzzle, Star Wars Disney Infinity set, some infinity characters, a rockets, and an Ipod touch from us and his grandparents. He was thrilled.
Drew is unique character. He loves to learn about facts. He enjoys putting things together and figuring things out. He loves puzzles and is currently working on a 1000 piece one all by himself. He goes to bed when instructed at around 8:30 but then stays up in his bed reading Magic Treehouse, Boxcar Children, and the Diary of Wimpy Kid series for a couple hours every night. I try to get him to fall asleep sooner, but for whatever reason he is a late-nighter. I can’t complain as it has helped him be one of the best readers in his class and he currently reads at a 4th grade reading level. He has a tender heart and loves to write us notes to tell us how much he loves us. We can’t imagine our family without our little book reading, soccer playing, puzzle solving guy in it.
