Happy 10th Birthday, Adam!

It doesn’t seem possible that I’m now the parent of a decade-old child but Adam is positive that today marks his foray into the double digit years. (He’s also informed me that this makes me old — but he was quick to retract that statement when I suggested that old age might cause me to forget to make his birthday cake.)

Adam's 10th Birthday

We’ve been in a state of birthday chaos here for weeks (such is what happens when your kids have birthdays just a week apart) and it seems that each year, the kids get more and more amped up in the days leading up to their individual fêtes. Things reached a fever pitch here yesterday, and as much as I love celebrating the kids, I’ll be happy when things settle down around here next week.

Adam's 10th Birthday

Over the past year I feel like I’ve started to get glimpses of the man Adam will one day become. While he’s still obsessed with Pokémon and Star Wars, he’s broadening his interests and starting to be more aware of social injustices and the state of our planet — and subsequently also looking at his role in these things. I love that our conversations are getting a little deeper (at least, some of the time) and that we’re able to continue to share our love of good books (currently, the Percy Jackson series).

Adam's 10th Birthday

To mark the occasion of Adam’s 10th birthday, here are a few of his current favourites.

Favourite Colour: Black. And light blue. But not pale blue. (Oh my gosh, I feel like I should be pulling out the Pantone colour swatches — he is so my kid!)

Favourite Breakfast: Crêpes with strawberry sauce.

Favourite Meal: Sushi with sweet potato tempura and edamame

Adam's 10th Birthday

Favourite Dessert: Bubbie’s Chubby Tuxedo Cake. (This would be his birthday cake, a recipe from Have Your Cake and Vegan Too.)

Favourite Movie: Revenge of the Sith.

Favourite Book: Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus.

Adam's 10th Birthday

Favourite Thing to Do with Mum: Read the Percy Jackson series. (We’re currently halfway through The Titan’s Curse.) But not watch the movies. They’re terrible. The first one was awful but the second one was so bad it made the first one look amazing.

Favourite Thing to Do with Dad: Work on programming my Lego Mindstorms R2D2’s groovy dance moves.

Favourite Thing to Do with Leah: Host the Beanie Boo Olympics. (This is basically a fancy name for stuffed animal fights.)

Adam's 10th Birthday

Favourite Place to Visit: Great Wolf Lodge. (I think he’s trying to hint at something here.)

Favourite Song: Light Blue. (It’s one of the songs he’s working on during his piano lessons.)

Future Plans: Work as a movie critic. I’m all about the stars.

Adam's 10th Birthday

Happy Birthday to my amazing Adam — you make my life a million times more entertaining than I could ever have imagined. Ten is going to be awesome!
