he had a good rest of the day and when i asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, his response was, "nothing! i just want to stay home and play!" well....that was easy!
this was what i wrote on facebook on his big day!
Today, the middle little turns 11! It got here fast, but it’s been a fun 11 years. Wes is as laid back as they come, but he also has an OCD side to him. The pillows and sheets must be perfect before he can go to bed. The socks have to be just right. And, don’t even get me started about tucking in his shirt. We call him grandpa! His favorite color is gray, and his favorite golfer is Rickie Fowler. He loves to snuggle, but he would prefer to sleep alone. He likes the temperature to hover somewhere around -2 degrees while he sleeps. School really gets in the way of his golfing time, but he does like math. He does not feel the same way about adverbs. Adverbs may be the death of him. He loves mexican food, chicken salad, ice cream, swimming, and reading. Barney Fife is his favorite. He hates eggplant and losing to his brothers at anything. He loves the Dodgers, Dak, and collecting NFL cards. He won’t wear ankle socks. He likes being with his cousins. He loves his dog and any other animal that turns up. He always saves a cracker for the ducks at the golf course. He is completely unable to pick out clothes that match, nor does he care. He is the biggest cheerleader on the sidelines of his little brother’s athletic endeavors. He loves a backrub. He refuses to dress up for any type of dress up day at school. He sleeps on his belly, and don’t even try to get him to wear a shirt to bed. He likes mint shampoo and soap that smells good. I’m pretty sure he has no idea where the dirty clothes hamper is located. Or a hairbrush for that matter. He isn’t going to college because he’s just going to play golf. He likes to eat at pyro’s and give them a fake name so they call out ridiculous names when his pizza is ready. He likes 80s rock and being in control of the radio in the car. He is so thoughtful and picks out the best gifts. He is the most observant person I know. He notices when the house on the other side of the neighborhood gets a new rocking chair or planted new flowers or somebody isn’t feeling well. He sent a daily, funny video of himself telling a joke to a friend that was hospitalized for a week to make him smile. He loves Garth Brooks, sour candy, and the Cosby Show. He is super fast on the base path and quick with a hug. He doesn’t like to be the center of attention, but today is his day….so happy birthday, Wes! We love you big!
