For his birthday activity he'd been BEGGING to go to Airborne, which is a fun center with trampolines and foam pits all over it. Amelia and Andy joined us, so it was a lot of fun. (we took a lot of video, but not pictures. I'll have to piece them together and post a video.)
We also took him to lunch at Rodizio Grill. We figured he'd love pulling meat off a skewer.
We had the traditional birthday dinner made my Lynette Sunday the 18th. I let him pick his cake and he chose to have me bake one and then let him decorate it. I was more than happy to comply. :) On his birthday I made him breakfast and let him rule the day.
Here are 7 of the things that make Steven such an awesome kid.
1. He is still full of energy and loves life. If given an audience he can talk for hours. I love hearing the stories he comes up with. It's fun to try and separate fact from fiction. :)
2. He is a great big brother to Adam. If Adam is sad, even if Steven is accidentally the cause, he'll go out of his way to be a goofball to cheer him up.
3. Steven is very creative. He still loves to play Minecraft and has gotten really good at it. He, Sarah and some neighbor kids are building a world together. It's fun (loud) to hear them talk about what they should put in their world. He still loves to play with Legos and no longer needs help with more difficult models although we like to build them with him occasionally.
4. He's a great skier. This is his second season skiing and with all other things, he has no fear. He likes to go off jumps and ski through trees. Thank goodness for helmets!
5. He's a good reader. He's started to enjoy reading more and although he sometimes likes to just flip through books, he's above grade level and able to read chapter books.
6.He's outgoing and makes friends easily. Steven makes people smile. He likes to make friends everywhere he goes and even in Hawaii he'd walk up to kids and start playing with them.
7. He love our "Dude" and are grateful every single day that he is a part of our family.
