Leon just turned eleven! He had to go to school on his birthday but we still tried to make the day special. He asked for toaster strudels for breakfast. I love that he choose something so easy. Then after school we did presents and cake and ice cream.
He wanted a chocolate cake and mint ice cream. I think I've convinced most of my kids that chocolate cake is the way to go. For dinner he requested orange chicken. I didn't take any opening present pictures but the main thing he got was a clarinet. He has been saying he wants to play it for years and next year he will be able to in school so we went ahead and got him one now.
Leon only wears two different outfits so it was easy to figure out which one he should wear for the pictures, the one that wasn't dirty. We do laundry everyday and rotates between this black long sleeve t-shirt and a light green one. He also has a second very similar pair of sweats he wears. He had tons of clothes but he hates it when I make him wear anything else. I think it is a comfort thing.
Leon is a great kid. This year he is home in the mornings with just me and his two younger siblings so he gets to be the oldest for about an hour and a half. I think it has been really good for him. I've seen him playing so well with both Calista and Beatrix. It is so nice because he is usually the youngest of the older four.
