He still considers himself a hero of sorts, as he cares for others and has a deep sense of empathy. He has loved this summer full of wonder and exploration. He worries some about what third grade will hold but is excited to be one of the big kids in the building this year.
Fishing has recently become a favorite past time. He still loves shooting hoops in the driveway and is curious about trying to play on a team someday. He would prefer one; however, where no one gets in his face. Good luck with that, little man.
He loves music and recently taught himself how to play the Star Wars theme song on our friend's keyboard. From there he requested additional classical music on cds so he can listen anytime he wants. Grandma supported his curiosity with the gift of a keyboard for his birthday. We love the possibility this holds for him.
Ty remains an intense little man but we are seeing his self confidence grow. The tension he often carries is lessening. Our prayer is that trend continues once school starts back in two weeks.
For his photos, he selected a light saber to represent him. When I suggested one of the new red ones that isn't being held together with tape, he scolded me. "Mom, red ones are for bad guys and I am not a bad guy". So a taped together favorite green one it was.
Happy 9th birthday, Ty David. You continue to amuse me. I love you more than you love Star Wars.

Love it! And the pictures are everything! Tristan likes orchestral music and has a keyboard, too. Ty is such a great kid, and I hope he has a birthday just as wonderful as he is!
