Happy 10th Birthday, Brett!

It’s hard to believe that Brett is already 10! A decade! For his birthday, he wanted a baseball theme.  Since I love baseball, I was very excited one of my kids finally picked it for a birthday theme.  Brett was very specific – he wanted a Joe Mauer jersey cake.  Some family friends accompanied us to an arcade with laser tag and  a ropes course.  Brett got lots of baseball cards for his birthday.  It was a fun day!

Brett is enjoying doing some school at home and some school at Castle.  And I am enjoying teaching him!  We've studied tigers, national parks, and weather.  This fall, Brett took a tennis class.  Brett loves to play outside with his brother and friends from the neighborhood.  He also likes to sing and dance and puts together talent shows to entertain us.  He enjoys arts and crafts, building with Legos, cooking, and playing video games.
