Happy Birthday to the middle child.

He is now eleven.  Eleven.
He is in 5th grade, which with our older two boys was the year of permanent male PMS.
His feet are bigger than mine, by a full size...and he's still growing.
His clothes are a mix of large/x-large boys and men's small.  Kind of like where he is in life.  Bridging that point between kid and young adult.   
He is far and away my most optimistic and energetic child.  I'm so glad he found sports as a safe way to take risks.  He loves to ride bikes, hike, play football, watch t.v. standing on his head. That last one has stopped within the last year.  He's starting to care about what's socially acceptable.
He still sees girls as people and playmates,  and not "girls."  unless they are his sisters.
He loves to cook, and still likes to help.  He does a lot of the prep work for dinners these days.  
He is funny, and goofy, and spends a lot of time in his own head. 
He is my sunshine.  
He has a lot to look forward to.
Happy Birthday son.  May this year be the best yet.
