Alex, you are going to be my most challenging child. However, I also think you are the one who will be very successful. You will be the one causing problems in class because you are bored.
You’ve already shown how generous you can be. In fact, this weekend I was going to make a Blockbuster run. You wanted to go with me because you know they have gumball machines. You took three quarters out of your purse so you could get gum for you and your siblings. You are always thinking of everyone else.
You also appear to rival your sister (even though she is three years your elder) when it comes to studies. Things just seem to come easy to you, just like your Dad. You came home from school last Thursday stating you had homework. There were a few pages you didn’t get colored in school. You immediately got out the colors, went to the table and began your “homework.”
You are also the toughest player to beat on Mario Brothers DS. You’re ruthless and will knock the stars out of anyone to win.
You also know how to be just plain ornery. You wanted me to push you on the swings last night. Then your potty mouth started. “Mom, you have fart breath. You have diarrhea in your underwear. You are a poop head.”
I made the mistake of laughing which only made the situation worse. Andy then copied you. The two of you continued to giggle, therefore, making me chuckle more.
We need to begin to transform some of the orneriness into more positive things. Although, don’t loose your ability to make people laugh. I love you!!
