November Thankful #4

I am so grateful for my son Joseph! He is quite the boy! He is funny and feisty, he's loud and obnoxious, he's loving and caring. He is the only boy, and most days I'm very grateful for that! I don't know if I could handle more than one of him!! He's so full of energy and can create more drama than all 3 of his sisters at the same time! But he keeps me on my toes....and I love that about him. He loves to perform and show off his "mad skills" pretty much whenever....unless he gets that occasional shy moment. He loves to do hip-hop dancing and is pretty good at it. Unfortunately this year they didn't have any other boys sign up, so his class was canceled. They are going to try to do one in February....so we're crossing our fingers.
Joe is fearless! He runs and jumps into just about any situation head first! It scares the crap out of me more often than not. I find myself just shaking my head a lot when he's around. When he gets onto anything motorized, I'm about scared to death until he's off again....it's full throttle all the time with him! He's sort of an adrenaline junkie already.
He is so a boy! He's so funny.....he's always saying things that me stop and say "Huh?!" or just make me laugh out loud! He's so passionate about most things that he does....whether it's learning in school or running around with the boys in the neighborhood.
I love it that when I go to his classroom at school he's so excited to show me off to everyone and he tells everyone that I'm awesome! I've had a lot of mom's compliment to me about him. His teacher talks about how courteous and helpful he is.
He loves to go to work with his dad and learn all about building things. He loves to be outside, no matter the weather. He loves to ride his bike, his dirt bike(when it's running), the 4-wheelers, jumping on the trampoline, swinging, playing sports.....just running around being an active kid. It almost makes me tired just watching him some days!
I love this smile/laugh that he has in this picture....this is "so Joe"! Everyone who sees it...and really knows Joe, says this. It just shows his joy and his spirit shining through! I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to raise him on this earth. I am grateful for him everyday! I love you Joe!
