*he is the born leader of his brothers- this is good and bad-depends his mood :)
*he has a crazy amount of energy- some days we can tunnel this and other days are trickier!
*he helps around the house and with his brothers- some times I hold him to high standards but he tolerates me- most of the time
*he likes to be involved in sports- so far soccer and basketball

*what he wants to be when he grows up- a scientist or work at NASA or he said there are a lots of things he wants to do
*he was picked to be a part of the school newspaper, called the Candle. He needed a teachers recommendation to be on the team, The group meets on Thursdays, they learn each part of the newspaper- he has done an interview and is writing his first article. I can't wait to see the first issue :)
I know there is more I should write about this crazy awesome oldest son of mine. He has grown and changed so much in the last 9 years! He loves to hear his birth story and how I held him for days straight counting every freckle on his body. I'm so proud and stressed out by him every day. Please keep being the awe-inspiring person you are Axel. I can't wait to see what this year will be like. Remember your my first and each phase you hit is new for me too! I'm still trying to figure out this being a Mom thing and I really try my best. I love you SO much.
