Eric

Eric is our second son and he has quite the personality.  He is a little dramatic, but quite the card. He has so much personality and is a very deep thinker. He a lot of his life planned out and the latest big decision is whether he will live in the dorm or stay with Mom and Dad when he goes to college here in about 13 years. He is quite serious about this too.   He is a very creative kiddo and is always making something out of all kinds of spare stuff. He learned a "fun" trick in one of his books and very secretly plays it on others a lot.  He takes 2 ketchup packets and put them folded under the toilet seat so when someone sits down they pop and splatter them.  He quietly and sneakily finds a way to get ketchup packets when we are at a restaurant then saves them until we don't expect it.  He is very convincing and has tried to convince people of the following:

Tried to convince our babysitter that he only goes to preschool 1 day a week and has a job the other days

Did convince Chad that it was PJ day when really it was the day that his class went Christmas Caroling for at the home for senior citizens. 

Has been trying to convince our hairdresser for months to give him a mohawk and to just not tell Mom or Dad. 

One day he stayed home sick and the next he convinced Chad he was still sick until I asked him later in the day “how is your throat" to which he replies, "good, welll, ummm, is my school out yet?  

 

 

 Typical Eric picture.  Papa and all the kids are supposed to be looking nice and Eric makes a face. 

I forgot to mention, Eric has quite the fashion sense.  He started a new trend this year in preschool.  Athletic pants and cowboy boots. He really likes to wear zip up jackets worn as a shirt and his brothers way too big crocks in 2 different colors.  :)

I have no idea what was going thru his mind during this pose with 2 of our little friends. 

Eric is such a fun member of our family.  He is very loving and a wonderful son.  We love him dearly and can't imagine him any other way.
