We have been together for 13 years and I just can't imagine life without him. Noah is such a great kid. He finally did it and became a teenager. I hear it's all downhill from here but I'm not too worried. Here's 13 things about Noah, our 13 year old:
- He's a great big brother. Adam and him have been getting along much better and hanging out a lot, laughing at the same shows and jokes. Katie loves when Noah wants to spend time with her jumping on the trampoline.
- He's an awesome student. He got bumped up to 8th grade math and continues to get great grades.
- He is into robotics, animation, video games, and computers. He runs the morning announcements that the middle school watches every morning. He doesn't like to be in front of the camera- just behind it.
- He really likes reading.
- His favorite shows are Psych, Wipe out, and Teen Titans.
- He loves food! Mexican, spaghetti, Big Noodle Soup, Texas Toast, and really just about anything- bring it on.
- His best friend Nikoli lives just down the street and they can be heard laughing and joking at our house nearly everyday.
- He just got a Facebook account.
- He will only wear tee shirts. It took an act of Congress to get him to wear the shirt pictured above.
- He is taller than his mother- but still skinnier.
- He has started combing his hair and brushing his teeth without any cajoling on my part.
- He rides his bike to the library and gas station. I just started dropping him and Nikoli off at the movies and picking them up when it's over. It's obvious how much he loves these little bursts of independence.
- He is a straight arrow kind of guy who truly wants to choose the right. He is so much braver than I was at his age. He makes me proud.
