I can hardly believe my first little bundle of joy is ten years old. Time has sure gone by fast. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. I was honestly scared to death of him. I had no idea what to do with this little baby! Now he is grown to be such a great young man.
Ethan loves anything related to science. He is in the gifted program at school and is constantly amazing me with how his brain works. I am always hearing from his teachers how different he thinks. One example was a math problem on the board. "You want to buy 9 of your friends pizza and they get 3 slices each. How many pieces will you need?" Of course it was 9x3=27 was the right answer. When his teacher asked if anyone else got a different answer, he slowly raised his hand and said "40". When his teacher asked why he explained "Well, I don't want to sit there and watch my friends eat pizza, I want 3 slices too!" I love how that mind of his works. He is constantly thinking and analyzing things. Sometimes he is up so late because he can't stop thinking.
He loves to do origami and fold paper airplanes. He will sit for hours and fold paper. He has even designed a few of his own creations. His newest phase is magic tricks and he is getting really good! He is very persistent in everything he does. When he was six, he started doing handstands. He would practice all day long, every chance he got. Now he can do a handstand forever and walk on his hands. It is amazing what his perseverance will do!
He is always thinking of other people. He is very sensitive and worried about others. He is the greatest big brother. Little kids just love him. He loves to play with them and include them in what he does. He is a great helper!
We are so proud of Ethan and all of his accomplishments. He is growing into a fine young man. Happy Birthday my little guy!
