Our Lincoln is NINE!! Wow, is he growing up. We celebrated with just a party at home this year.
He was in desperate need of a few clothes. I know. Not really fun, but needed.
Then, he got some money too. I wasn't sure what to get him, so I decided to just let him pick it out for himself. Oh, and I signed him up for a beginner art class.
After money from Uncle Jeff and Mimi and Pappaw, this guy was loaded. He was cheesing for Hannah.
On Sunday after church we went to eat at Texas Roadhouse. Jeff and Linc got sung to for their birthdays.
Actual birthday morning sleepyhead. He had his favorite breakfast--toaster strudels.
I also took him lunch to school. He requested 2 apple pies from McDonald's--his favorite.
He chose to buy these skates/roller blades, a Lego set, and a slinky (yes, a slinky, silly boy) with some of his money. Right now he is all about these skates!
Here are a few other things about Lincoln at NINE:
**He loves to read Stink, Big Nate, anything about presidents, and Who Was books.
**He enjoys tennis, basketball, soccer (at school on the playground), and swimming as far as sports go. He wants to play football.
**He still is into building things. He loves Legos, Snap Circuits, and Knex.
**He is very into drawing right now and has so far really enjoyed the art class we got him.
**He is a big breakfast eater. He loves eggs especially fried eggs and boiled eggs. He loves toaster studel especially. He eats fruit all the time and especially likes green apples. Other favorite foods are pizza, Cajun Chicken Pasta, apple pie, and any kind of candy.
**He writes the best stories.
**Can be very sensitive at times.
**Always has to have something in his hands or be messing with something.
**Has a really good memory.
**Always gives us hugs in the morning when he first wakes up.
**Loves to watch t.v. and play video games.
**Hates to go to bed. Fusses just about every night at bedtime because it is bedtime.
**Can be a bit of a worrier.
**Has nightmares that wake him up about once a week. Loves to have Kris or I lay down with him for a bit at night.
Lincoln is a great big brother to Layton and I can't wait to see how he is with the new baby. We are super proud of him. He works hard and has so many talents. We just can't wait to see what he becomes one day. Right now, though, I'd love for him to just stay 9. Next year is double digits! ;(
