Ode to Calder
Calder is SEVEN years old now. It feels like I forget how little he once was and is now becoming a young boy. This both excites and scares me, which I expect to continue to feel throughout his life.
Let's see...Calder loves Legos, he has lost 8 teeth, has had 3 cavities, rides his bike almost as well as I do mountain biking, likes his hair a little longer than his dad would like, has gained a tremendous amount of confidence in the water this year, can make his own PBJ sandwich, really likes soy sauce and pot stickers, likes to understand why and explanations for things but doesn't always like the answer and will sometimes make up his own answers which a lot of the time are funny and/or complex, he really likes Phineas and Ferb, Ninjago and Scooby-doo, doesn't love reading alone, has many intricate thoughts, is learning to debate and negotiate, still likes his back rubbed and hair played with, is learning to take pride in his appearances, loves to learn anything science related and can be very determined when he sets his mind to it.
Oh, and get this! One of his birthday presents was an itunes gift card and one of the songs he bought was "Mr. Roboto" by Styx - thank you Uncle Brian for the example you are.
