alex turns eight

My baby boy turned eight years old on November 10th.  To celebrate Alex's birthday this year, we took him and Isaac to see the new Thor movie.  We all really enjoyed it; it was a great movie.  After the movie we met my parents and Heidi and C's Aunt and Uncle at Red Robin for lunch.  After lunch Alex went with C's Aunt and Uncle to pick out his birthday present at Target and then we all met back at my parent's house for cake.  The festivities for Alex's birthday were limited last weekend because we were moving for the second time in two weeks.  We were planning to have a party this weekend to celebrate with more family and a few of the boys' friends, but Alex didn't make the best choices this week at school, so his party has been cancelled for this year.

Here are eight things about Alex at this age:

1. He's very smart and is very capable when he wants to be.
2. He loves his baby sister a lot and can make her smile big and laugh at him.
3. He is very strong-willed and can really be a challenge.
4. He learned to ride his bike without training wheels this year.
5. He learned to tie his shoes this year (finally) :) .
6. Right now he is reading at the level he is supposed to be able to read at by the end of the school year.
7. He loves his brother but likes to pick on and fight with him a lot too.
8.  He wears a size 8 shirt, size 7 pants and size 13 shoe.
