Today is Ian's half birthday! Our middle child will be turning nine years old in six months.
If you want to see a big smile on Ian's face just make one of these statements:
1. "I'll play Legos with you." (Nadia is the one who plays Legos with him the most).
2. "Let me give you a hug!" This boy loves to snuggle!!
3. "We're having pepperoni pizza for dinner!" We almost always buy cheese pizza, but I keep a package of pepperoni in the refrigerator for Ian, and he turns his slice of cheese pizza into a slice of pepperoni pizza.
4. "You can watch Ninjago." He watches it via Amazon Prime.
5. "You can stay up later tonight." Nadia and Oliver both are known to ask to go to bed at their bedtime or even earlier. Ian gets the least sleep of the three kids as he's almost always the first one up in the morning.
6. "Look at the baby!" He loves
to see babies of all kinds.
7. His favorite books series are Imagination Station (he's read all of them), Magic Tree House, and Paddington Bear books. He usually only reads when I ask him to do so.
8. He loves to practice the piano. He's now in the same books as Nadia because he practices far more than she does. When he wants to earn an iPad turn, his first choice is usually to practice the piano. I wish my mom could hear him play!
9. He plays outside far less than his siblings. He spends many hours playing with legos.
10. Aside from legos, his other favorite toy would be his stuffed animals - particularly his Mario ones. His most recent addition to his collection is a red Yoshi. He gets them off of eBay, and they come straight to our house from Hong Kong or China.
11. His favorite fruits are golden delicious apple slices or red grapes.
12. His favorite vegetable is green beans.
13. His favorite subjects in school are piano, science, math, and spelling. He says he likes (but doesn't love) history and reading.
14. He has an amazing memory.
15. He prefers to go to the worship service than to the 1st/2nd grade boys' class. During the school year he usually goes to the worship service during the first service and kids' choir during the second. In the summer he goes to the worship service in the first service and Kidzway during the second service.
16. He spends the most time holding the guinea pigs compared to everyone else in our house.
17. He still loves everything related to Mario and Star Wars.
18. He had his first big role in a musical at church in May. He did a great job as a pirate!
