I have some well-chosen adjectives that describe my kids.
What I happen to love about the following list of adjectives is that they were used by other people: Aunts, cousins, teachers, friends, grandparents, neighbors, tween-girls – to describe my son, Jonathan.
I know this because I have been "collecting" them for the past few months. I take my parenting task very seriously so I listen carefully when someone describes them in a complimentary way.
1) Smart.
2) Funny.
3) Creative.
4) Talented.
5) Popular.
6) Original.
7) Resourceful.
8) Entertaining.
9) Clever.
10) Quick-witted.
11) Adorable.
12) Inventive.
13) Crazy-making.
Okay, so number 13 was mine. =D
Carrie called him a muรฑecon…. does that count?
My man-child is 13 years old today.
Half-Cuban, Half-Alien (I'm convinced) with Super Powers. Brace yourself, World!
Happy Birthday to my Man-child, Jonathan. =D
