So, my sister in law is visiting from Ireland. She announced on Saturday that she and her boyfriend will be getting married in March in Scotland! I am so excited to plan a trip to Scotland. I am also very happy that she is here for my son's 7th birthday on Saturday. But, it looks like my sister in law will never live in Canada ever again. That makes me sad. I would love for her to be close, but at least we have a place we can visit in Europe, where ever she may end up and that depends on where her husband gets an architect job.
This Saturday Markus will be 7! I can't believe it! We are going camping at Kelso beach. It will just be family and two friends, so 15 people in total. He wants me to make cupcakes. I asked if he wanted me to buy a cake and he said no. He would rather have cupcakes, homemade. Smart boy. I just hope my pink eye goes away by Saturday.
Now, that he is 7, he says "blah blah blah" more often to me when I ask him to do something around the house. He pretends he cannot hear me when he can when I call his name to clean his room or help me. He walks in the house with his shoes on and gets mad if I don't let him play xbox. He likes time alone and says words like "seriously?!" and "no way?!" It's really quite great. Sigh 7 yr olds! what's not to love?
At the same time, he can be caring and sensitive. Yesterday we lost Sonja in the mall and Markus jumped into action to help us look for her. This was after seeing the Minions movie.
I can't wait for his birthday to come and go and for him to be another year older.
