In 20 days we will be the parents of a 10 year old! WHAT? When did this happen? Only a few years left until middle school and teenage hood. I remember when I turned 10 specifically because I was 2 whole hands old! Haha! And my favorite number was 13 and I was even closer to 13 once I hit 10! 2 digit birthdays to me meant that you weren't a little kid anymore. Now that I am about to the mom of a 2 digit number kid I want to think that he will be a kid for quite sometime still, but I know it is just a matter of time now.
Bruce is a great kid. Don't get me wrong, he gets in trouble on the daily and has more attitude than I did at this age (and I was known for my attitude unfortunately) and he is sluggish when I am high speed. Despite the normal kid stuff and the extra Bruce aloofness he puts off at times, I am blessed with a sweet and caring boy (well 2 actually, but this is about the almost 10 year old this time). Bruce is smart and considerate and wants everybody to like him. He has started standing up for himself and is so complimentary and respectful. One funny thing, he is just like a mini Matt. No, seriously. He acts like him and does the same kinds of things that Matt does and did (and some are things that he hasn't seen or heard Matt do).
Bruce likes to watch football and is starting to understand it too. He cheers and jeers and enjoys watching! He has also started to learn how to play football with Dad in the backyard. He wants to play in the fall and we are excited that he has finally wanted to play a sport and doubly excited because he wants to play a sport and that Matt and I both love too. He wanted to be a RB, but he throws the ball so well! You would think that he has been playing it for years with the way he throws the ball. Bruce is in 4th grade and I cannot believe that he that old! It makes me feel even older each year on his birthday. We are very proud of Bruce and who is becoming and we look forward to seeing what this year brings for him!
