Early Birthday

It's difficult to comprehend, but our little guy really is almost 9 years old! He was thrilled to celebrate his birthday with the extended family a few days early.Aunt Sara knows just what Harrison likes! He got a Pokemon birthday card with a gift card to buy the new Pokemon game for his Nintendo DS. The card had stickers that he used to decorate his DS case.Harrison is a voracious reader but it has been a struggle to get him interested in anything other than non-fiction science books. He reads about space, dinosaurs, plants, animals, geography, etc. which is great but I had to point out to him that when he's in the 4th grade, they have to do book reports for all different genres. He enjoyed reading "How To Train Your Dragon" so we looked for some other options. He wanted the Fablehaven series and Grandma and Grandpa delivered! He was so excited. His birthday is only 4 days away. Where has the time gone?!
