The main milestone for a 16 year old boy is the whole driving thing starting up... He took the written test today, and yes, he passed. He was less excited than I expected. But Nick is just basically a laid back, chill kinda guy. The actual driving classes, six hours of instruction, start on Monday. I am NOT ready.
Nick is the peace maker in the family. He is the one who wants any conflict to cease immediately, and he is the one who always calls for the group hug. And, in fact, if any hug at all is happening in the house, he is most likely to throw himself into the middle of it. He is very loving.
Nick also has a great sense of humor and he loves to laugh. He loves comedies and Nickelodeon and Sponge Bob. He is always glad to be goofy.
Nick has a great ear. He is very good at imitating sounds and speech and songs. He has a very good voice when he sings. In fact, he's also a GREAT dancer, with a lot of natural rhythym and smooth moves. IF you can catch him. Because the minute he notices someone watching, he stops. He is still very shy. I think he'll grow out of it, eventually. Just not quite yet.
So Happy Birthday, Chicky. Don't be in TOO much of a rush to grow up. (Now go get a job. Shop Rite is hiring!)
ALSO celebrating a birthday today is my William! William is Nick's cousin. Here they are at the party this weekend, as we sang the worst rendition of Happy Birthday that you have EVER HEARD.
William is 11. He's a sweet kid, and he gets along great with Nick. He is totally into video games and Nascar and Pokemon. He is very intelligent and does well in school.
Happy Birthday, William!
