Reasons Why We Love Wes on (the day after) his 11th Birthday

Denise

Piper took Wes’s Devil’-Food-and-Oreo-Ice-Cream Cake, scraped off the inferior frosting and (Mine)crafted the cake as an exploding Creeper. She was also the one to make him an Among Us card. This inspired Reason #1.

Reasons His Family Loves 11-Year-Old Wes:

  1. He plays video games with Piper and gives her interesting craft project inspiration.
  2. He’s funny.
  3. He’s Papa’s Halo buddy.
  4. He plays foosball like a Tasmanian Devil.
  5. He took Daddy’s snuggle genes and combined with Mama’s, and then doubled it.
  6. It is so fun to watch Wes and Piper sled together.
  7. Wes and Piper have a funny baby-voice interaction.  “It’s me!”
  8. He thinks he wants his own almond mocha and can only drink 2 ounces of it.
  9. I love him in spite of him eating—and enjoying!!—MY 100% dark chocolate.
  10. He loves it when I read aloud.
  11. He adorably loves tummy rubs.
  12. He is wonderfully enthusiastic about board games and has a great attitude win or lose.  He always says “GG”, for good game.
  13. We love his enthusiasm for being playful, like wrestling matches.
  14. His enthusiasm for camping in the RV is contagious.
  15. Mama loves Wes’s supernatural ability to balance on anything, especially Frederick and anything with wheels.
  16. He was a wonderful hamster parent.
  17. Wes was kind and interactive toward Ruby, and showed how he can be a really nice “big kid”.
  18. I love that he is so likeable among his peers.  He can be with Abigail, Collin, Sumarth, Lily, etc.
  19. He showed lots of maturity when he found out he probably had to get braces and on his own, he started practicing brushing his teeth 3 times a day.
  20. I love his choice in friends!
  21. He is a master fort builder.
  22. He is a trooper about physical pain.
  23. Even when he dislikes doing something, he will do it with minimal complaint, like going to tutoring. This compliment does not include Mama’s Forced Marches of Misery.
  24. He embodies “it is better to give that receive”.  He is generous and thoughtful, getting gifts to his loved ones beyond expectation.

What is Wes looking forward to this year?

I want Covid to end. I want to get to round 200 in Bloon TD 6. Kill the enderdragon in no cheat survival.  Go back to CA in the RV. 

And Piper pipes: He will be sleeping by himself every night! (Kyla and Wes have to wean themselves off each other by September this year. They are sad just thinking of it.)
