Today is National Son Day. As with the other day being National Daughter day, today I celebrate my son. Andy is one super sweet kid. He’s funny and kind. Spends way too much time playing Roblox but he’s playing with his friends so he’s getting some good bonding time with them. He’s always thinking of new jokes to tell. He’s become very responsible and he’s very smart. The other day he negotiated allowances for he and his sister. We had a nice long discussion on what allowances will be used for and how the money will be divided each month. He listened and offered questions and was very mature about it.
The other night at dinner he told us about an incident at school where a friend was saying some disrespectful things and Andy called him out on it. That takes courage to stand up to your friends and call them out when they are not being as kind and respectful as they should be. It makes me very proud to hear that Andy was able to do that.
He’s growing up and he’s becoming more mature. I cannot believe that he hits double digits in little over a month from now. That is crazy. I look forward to the things that we can do together as he gets older.
