June = birthdays at our house! With all the baseball tournaments, games, and practices, it's always hard to plan any type of party. We usually wait and do something later in the summer when things are a little calmer. This year Owen's birthday fell on a Saturday (baseball tournament in Liberty). Instead of cake we opted for chips/candy/Gatorade and his teammates sang to him.
At age 12 he still loves sports--playing, watching, analyzing, anything! He also enjoys cooking, some video games, doing math problems, eating, playing with friends/brothers, and being outside. He has to be reminded to brush his teeth and read. We've had him mow the yard this summer and he continues to "baby-sit" for short periods of time. Happy 12th Owen!
He started the day with a smoothie from Starbucks (something we usually say, "No" to.
He spent some of his birthday watching a friend's daughter play in a basketball tournament. He may look bored here, but this is exactly the kind of thing he likes to do. It's even better when he can sit and watch alone.
Enjoying some birthday treats--not the homemade kind!
He waited until we returned to Manhattan to open his gifts--Dick's gift card, certificate for his first massage, some cooking supplies, and a huge bucket of bubble gum. He received money and gift cards from family as well and as of right now plans to spend his money on some new clothes (that fit), new basketball, or a food processor.
