It's happening soon, Rian's last single-digit birthday is sneaking up on us!! Here's something mommy and daddy put together to remember his year by.
Rian is turning nine
And this doesn’t happen all the time
He’s turning out to be a modest boy
But makes mommy and daddy super proud!
He scaled the mountains this year
Climbed to top of Nevada falls without fear
If he could have had his way
He’d have summited Half Dome on the same day!
He was a star at YMCA family camp
Basket making, improv by lamp
Leather bookmarks and a tie dye t-shirt
This was more fun than playing in dirt!
He helped daddy assemble his bunk bed
Now he's ready to host instead
Countless sleepovers and playdates
Arya and Auhon are his best mates
Their first FLL junior project, each did a third
With spinning flowers and a hummingbird
To save the bee population of the world
Met a bee keeper and remembered every word.
We hosted Marco, Mocha and Scotty
But Rian is yet to take on the responsibility
of caring for a hairy friend
His ways now, will he have to amend?
He's gyming, and swimming. Soccer's fun!
A spin class or elliptical - Why choose only one?
32 miles in Utah, did we hike!
In one single day: 8.8 miles. I like!
Did a trip to Belize: snuba on the waves
And hiking through wet dark caves!
Fly alone to Canada, sure can prove!
His aunt's fiancé did he approve!
He learnt the trumpet, his halloween costume was a box
Changes in school, he can handle it. He rocks!
A nanny, a day care, or Stratford again?
In RSM Math, a first in class did he gain!
Can't stop this poem without his Legos
He'll take them wherever he goes
We've had a Porsche, an EV3, and a Saturn Five!
Bricks, bricks!! They make him thrive!
Although mommy and daddy enjoy date nights
We absolutely miss him on sleepover nights
He's growing into a sensible, caring young boy
And this nine year old is our favorite toy!
