My baby boy turns 8!!

Kale turned 8 today!! It is hard to realize my boys are growing up so fast. Kale chose to just hang with the family for his day. He wanted to eat at Cici's, get ice cream, and go to Funland. We did Cici's and ice cream, but will have to do Funland another time. We had a card with money on it, but the card got left at home. He also went to Target to pick up a flag football set and a few pair of shorts. Nana Jo and Nama had sent money and Papa had money at the bank for Kale. He had plenty to spend and even saved some.

Kale has always been and continues to be a VERY laid back boy. Not much phases him!! He loves all his grandparents, but he has a very special relationship with Papa. I believe it is because he is sooooo much like Papa and Uncle Marvin. He would move to his house and never blink an eye at home. He likes Papa'a laid back life, fishing, naps, and piddling around. He is a bright boy with tons of book sense. We often are not sure about his common sense, but the SCOPE teacher keeps reminding me most gifted chldren do not have common sense. So, we are feeling like he is probably VERY VERY VERY gifted!!!!! He loves to play football and is pretty good. However, he has a bad temper and often ends up letting his temper get in the way. He is working on it and we have seen some small improvements. Kale loves his sister and would do anything for her. Kale loves his brothers and generally will help them out when needed. They have the typical brother relationships. We love Kale and can't wait to see what his future holds!! Happy birthday, Kale Jonathan!!

Our gerber baby is so grown up. Oh, and he gets his common sense from his mamma. Big kisses, Cutie.
