Today is Alex’s 12th birthday. He is an ideal kid. He is fun and happy and helpful. He plays with everyone. He has deep and wide interests, knowledge, and skills. I regularly ask him questions about things I don’t know because he learns and retains so much from the nonstop reading he does. He is really interested in typing right now and practices as often as he can. Recently he has started looking so old. It’s pretty unbelievable to me that he is already twelve.
