Milo, our first-born, smart, athletic, silly, sensitive boy with a fiery temper, is 8 years old today! I remember his birth like it was yesterday, an amazing, whirlwind of an event with an intensity I couldn’t possibly have been prepared for. And how he has grown over the past 8 years! He knows about a billion animal facts, how to climb just about anything, and does not hesitate during new experiences. He refuses a hair cut, insisting that his friends like his “crazy hair,” and so does he.<\/p>\n

He is level-headed and kind and talkative, and pushes himself in all he does… as my mom would say, he’s a real go-getter!<\/em>\u00a0We are all so proud of him and just love him so very very much.\u00a0\"DSC_0389\"<\/a>\"DSC_0391\"<\/a>\"DSC_0392\"<\/a>\"DSC_0393\"<\/a>\"DSC_0395\"<\/a>\"DSC_0370\"<\/a>For his birthday portraits, Milo insisted on goofy<\/em> all the way, which I’m learning is what 7 and 8-year-olds do best. He is constantly laughing, tricking, joking, and giggling about something these days. His laughter is contagious, his jokes corny.\u00a0\"DSC_0361\"<\/a>\"DSC_0359\"<\/a>\"DSC_0358\"<\/a>Here, I interviewed him the night before his 8th birthday to record some of his favorite things and thoughts about the future.<\/p>\n

How does it feel to be 8? \u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Awesome!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

What is the best present you received? \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I love it all! Bop-it, or this book<\/a>, or the legos… I can’t decide.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is your favorite color? \u00a0<\/strong>Purple
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Favorite book (or series)? \u00a0<\/strong>I love the Harry Potter series. I’m already on book 6!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What is your favorite food? \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Broccoli!<\/em><\/p>\n

What are three goals you\u00a0have for this coming year? \u00a0<\/strong>To jump from one globe to another (a circus trick); to stop wiping my hands on my shirt; and to do more work at school.<\/em><\/p>\n

What do you want to be when you grow up? \u00a0<\/strong>An inventor. And a scientist.\u00a0<\/em>
