Eight reasons we love this kid:

1. He spends most of his free time playing with his little brother (even after Will knocked out his tooth on Saturday right before our Twilight party).
2. He compliments often and notices when people need a lift.
3. He loves the library and will spend hours reading (even the dictionary).
4. He loved homeschooling and hopes we would do it again someday.
5. He thanks me for dinner even if he hates what I make.
6. He has a fun sense of humor and shares many inside jokes with his brothers (even if most of them involve bodily functions).
7. He’s curious about nutrition and reads the labels on all containers.
8. He’s a loyal friend and will stick up for the underdog (and doesn’t realize that sometimes that’s him).

Happy 8th Birthday Erik!!!
