Ten Years Old!!

My little baby turned TEN years old yesterday! I can't believe it! We held a little family party for him on Sunday. Nothing much, just a few presents and cake. Nick thoroughly enjoyed the cake :) He ate approximately two pieces of it, the third piece he started to have fun flinging it around. I can only let him have so much fun before it starts getting out of hand :)

He has been doing great!!! For his birthday he picked out another stuffed "Sully" and it is so cute to see him gather up all three of his "Sully"s and 'play' with them. A few days ago, he thought the smallest Sully needed a bath in the toilet, with the other two watching from the floor. He was quite pleased with himself! He also likes to stand in front of the bathroom mirror and chat with himself. He cracks himself up!! It can be 5am when he does this, and I just lay there silently laughing at his antics :) He has just been a Mr. Personality recently and we are loving it. He likes typical pre-teen things like music, and now he is getting into watching The Justice League. One of his absolute fave musicians is Weird Al Yankovic!! He has a lot of interests ranging from household appliances to watching ice hockey videos, and everything in between. When his aide is here, Nick keeps him busy surfing YouTube for whatever Nick can think of. It is quite funny really. He parks himself in front of the computer and Dupri sits right beside him. Who knows? Maybe one day he will communicate via a computer keyboard.

We are all doing good and keeping busy during this crazy winter. We have had 107 inches of snow this year. I can't remember what grass looks like LOL. We have had temps well below zero, the kids have had four snow days (a rarity in our area!). I think today was the first day we broke 20 degrees for a long time and it felt so warm!!! Other than that, I got nothing. Things have been quiet. Stable. We are getting Nick back and we could not be happier.
