Erik lost his front tooth right before his big day, which made his pictures look extra cute! :) He was happy to spend the day in his Charmander Pj's, playing with his new pokemon cards (those things were two of his favorite presents for sure!), and watching a pokemon show. Are we catching a theme here? This kid plays pokemon with his brothers on the daily. He has worn through several pokemon handbooks - we had to buy the libraries copy when he left it outside in the rain - and bought another with his own money. They are well loved for sure. They don't play with the cards as much as they play a "live" version. I don't really get it, but they chase each other around the yard and have a great time. He loves his Pikachu Pj's and created a Pikachu valentine box. One of his favorite activities is finding pokemon pictures on the internet, coloring them, and covering his closet in the pictures. He actually enjoys coloring and is pretty good at it (very different from his brothers).
Erik is our crazy kid. And usually in a good way. He's the one who can always make us laugh, pulls the best faces, is spontaneously funny, and is always ready for a good dance party. When he wakes up, he lays on the floor or the kitchen table for a while. And likes it even better when I stop to rub his back. He is a little bit of a rascal and finds ways to be in trouble, but he's usually honest about what he's done. I think that's a good thing, but not positive? He likes school, has lots of friends, and his teacher always comments that he comes to school with a smile on his face. He even won the best smile award for his class. :) He also likes to take days off school and says he needs to spend more time with me. Erik loves to sleep in the boys' room in the basement and read in bed with Austin. (Cole goes straight to sleep.) We make him sleep upstairs on school nights, but that is definitely NOT his top choice. He'd much rather share a bedroom. He likes candy and hates to brush his teeth (that is something he does lie about!) Erik is athletic and likes to throw a ball around. He taught himself how to ride a bike and likes the dirt bike park thing across from our house. He loves to sing and is actually on tune (also something different from his brothers :) He bursts out in song regularly. For example, Me: Go grab your coat. Erik: "I wore my coat. With golden lining." (from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) Its pretty amazing how many songs he knows and how loud he belts them out!
We sure love our Pokemon boy! Happy birthday Erik!
