Tyson is 8!!

My baby turned 8!!

 We are so excited for him to be getting baptized soon.  He had his interview with the bishop yesterday and I was trying to coach him a little and tell him what the Bishop would ask him.  I said the Bishop may ask you why you want to get baptized.  Tyson's response was, "I wanna get dunked!"  Yes, we are worried :)

At 8 Tyson:
 -Loves legos!  Loves to talk about legos, loves to watch lego shows, loves to build them and especially loves collecting lego people.
 -Is not too big into video games and video systems.  He like to play on the iphones or ipad before he goes for video systems and their games.  We don't even own skylanders!
 -Is very well behaved at school, not so much at home or carpool.
 -Is super sweet to his baby sister, the other two not so much.
 -Loves to hear stories about when he was an awful baby.

Still has only lost 2 teeth. (the ones the dentist pulled out) Yay for slow teeth!!
 -Is very talkative for a boy.  He will tell me all about his day when he gets home. I love it!
 -Is still a bad sleeper and has frequent nightmares.
 -Is described by his teacher as a deep thinker and soft spoken.

  -Begs weekly for a baby brother and frequently asks why he has so many sisters!
 -Is a quick learner in music.  He is doing great learning the piano and is a pleasure to play songs with.
 -Hates, Hates, Hates reading.  It is an ongoing fight that never gets any better :(
 -Is not a morning person and is a nightmare to get out the door and off to school.
 -Is a great eater and has no problems with vegetables.

-Is so excited to be in cub scouts.

-Loves to be active.  Riding bikes, roller blading, jumping on the trampoline, or playing sports.

-Makes friends easily and is in general pretty easy going while playing with others.

 

We are so happy to have this crazy, funny, caring, talented boy in our family!
