13 things to love about my 13 year old

Happy Birthday to my oldest son! He is now an official teenager! So in honor of him, here are 13 things I love about the best 13 year old in the world!!!
#1-His smile: ) He's not the quickest to give them out, but when he does they light up my day.
#2-His quick wit. His sense of humor is developing more and more each day. We love to laugh.
#3-His good judgement. I can trust him to make good choices even when I am not around.
#4-His sense of discernment. He is very sensitive to wrong and evil. I respect that.
#5-His ability to laugh with me: ) Cause I give us all plenty to laugh at!!!
#6-His good memory (which I am coming more and more to rely on!)
#7-His peaceful, thoughtful spirit. He's the kind of person I can be with in quiet ways.
#8-His love of nature. We both enjoy doing outdoor things together.
#9-His honesty. He has to tell the truth, even when someone doesn't want to hear it. That is a strength.
#10-He appreciates good music. He listens to and plays stuff I can enjoy, too!
#11-His love for his sisters. He has a tough exterior, but I've seen him give for the sake of giving to his sisters. That makes me happy.
#12-His love for God's word and truth. He knows where to go to get information he can count on!!
#13-He is a perfectionist, but love even wins out in his heart here. He is willing to let go of all of his high expectations to love his family.
We sure love him!!!
Thanks for letting me get all mushy!

Having spent almost a year with a 13 year old, I can assure you that a homeschooled teen is one of the greatest blessings of a mom's life!
I love the cake, by the way! I have to start planning. Our birthday month is coming up in May!
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
P.S.-I just added my first counter, so make sure you visit!

...but I've just gotten around to checking in with you. Happy Birthday to your son, VERY lovely sentiments that I'm sure he appreciates! And I have to know about the cake? Did you make it? It looks like German chocolate...my husband's favorite. Too cool!
