This is a big birthday for Graydon. He has been counting down the days until he turned the big 1-0. This kid is eager to grow up. He doesn't just want to be older, he also wants to be bigger. I've found Google searches for 'how to grow bigger muscles' and 'how to get taller'. He doesn't like being small. I found him doing some yoga poses the other day in an attempt to stretch himself out so that he would be taller. He makes me laugh, but I continue to pray that his pursuits come from a place of wanting to be his best self instead of viewing his current version as something inferior.

This year, he tried flag football for the first time and loved it. I almost wish our school had a football team because he did really well in the position of running back. But I'm also glad that we don't since that sport can cause so many injuries. Basketball continues to be his favorite sport anyway. School is going well and he continues to get good grades. Math is definitely a strong area for him. 

If he could have it his way, he'd spend all of his time watching You Tube videos, playing on his tablet, or watching TV. He loves his technology and wants to create his own You Tube channel. Thankfully, he also enjoys going outside to play basketball. When his screen time is over for the day, his next favorite thing to do is play board games. We've been playing a lot lately. His favorite TV show right now is 'The Flash'. He, Andy, and Curtis have guy time at night when they watch this show together.

It's hard to believe that Graydon is ten-years-old! I am thankful for this whole decade of being his mom and pray for God's blessing to be upon this next one. His favorite song this past year has been "Believer" by Imagine Dragons and it was his specific request to have this song in his slideshow video this year. Ask and you shall receive!  Happy Birthday, Graydon Andrew! Welcome to your 10s!

I can't believe he is 10.
