I adore this kid. He is truly the world's best boy. This year Coleman turned 11. We tried to celebrate by going to Seven Peaks but the weather didn't hold up for us. Just about the time we got there the sky opened up and started to dump rain! Fortunately for us, Transformers came out on this same day so we opted to go see that in the dry movie theater instead. Coleman will be having a party with friends next week but we celebrated with Red Robin, Chik fil a, and the movie.
Some things I never want to forget about my 11 year old Coleman:
1. He is the kindest boy around. Truly, he is always thinking of others (with the exception of his little sisters)
2. He has a bit of a temper on him...he likes to slam doors and has been known to throw out the "I hate you" bit before. But this is only when he doesn't feel like he is being listened or understood. We are trying to get Coleman to understand the difference between understanding what he says and agreeing with it. Hard concept sometimes.
3. He LOVES to read books. I am pretty sure that he has read every book in his school library that interests him. He would like to write books someday!
4. He wants to go to MIT and become a reverse engineer. In his spare time he will write books and invent stuff.
5. He has an amazing testimony and absorbs information like a sponge. So many of his teachers at church tell me he asks questions they don't even know the answers too. Many times during scripture study at home he understands what we are reading far better than I do!!
6. He is a great cook and makes many a meal around here. From ramen to eggs to grilled ham and cheese to hamburgers on the grill he loves to cook and share it with those around him.
I love this kid and I'm glad if I only have one boy it's him!! Love you Coleman!
