This blog is dedicated to our oldest son, Nicholas, and what he is doing lately. Nicholas is the most organized and greatest helper ever. Everyday when he comes home he gets himself a snack and sits down and does his homework. He never complains, even when he has a big project. He will concentrate on it for hours until it is finished. Last quarter he got straight A’s because he has such a good work ethic. I always tell the kids it’s not how smart you are, it’s how hard you work. Here is the proof. Every evening he gets all the lunch boxes ready for the kids and puts the juice boxes in the freezer to get cold for the next day. He keeps his side of the 
room emaculate, and does his daily chores quickly and completely. Every mom needs a son like Nick:) We put him right up there with the best!
Nick just turned 13 this month–a teenager! He’s quite a d
ifferent breed of teenager since he has autism, but I’m glad. He is the most responsible and innocent teenager I know. He didn’t want anything for his birthday, but we got him a fly pen system, my parent’s got him a photoshop book, and Rob’s parent’s gave him $20.
He is taking piano lessons on Thursda
ys, goes to boy scouts on Wednesdays and is teaching himself how to use the 3D modeling programs Blender & Maya. Here he is trying out a hot pepper…spicy!
What a cool idea to post about each kid. I enjoyed learning more about your boys! I’ve added you to my blog list.
Nick has always been such a good guy. You make us proud to be your aunt and uncle, Nicholas.
