All my children are interesting and have their own personalities. David is very sweet, caring, mischievous and clumsy . As a child he never got sick enough to go to the doctors, any fever, cold etc he would just sleep and recover within 24 hours. But he was always falling down, falling off things, tripping over things. He lives life a full speed and accidents happen. Even he is tired he won't sleep more than he has to, he wants to experience life. He has no love of material things beyond what is necessary for living, makes buying for him tough but he really is happy with what he has. He says that by wanting all the time one is never happy, there will always be something more that you will want, a better computer, better car, bigger house. He really believes that happiness doesn't lie in having but in being!! Very mature!
He also has the ability to perserve. He worked for a year at a part time job. The job was okay but one of the older employees went out of his way to make life difficult for the younger kids, everything was wrong. Any real mistake was met with a lot of criticism. One mistake could lead to weeks of put downs. For David that was hard to deal with, he was bullied all through elementary school and this felt like more of the same. But he stuck it out. I am very proud of him for that.
For the kids birthday the birthday kid can choose the dinner. David loves Japanese food and asked for tempura, fish, rice and soup. Easy enough except yesterday was VERY HOT and the power kept failing in the house because I was running too many things. So for part of the time I had the air conditioner off. Talk about HOT, I felt like I was in a sauna. But the dinner was nice, I made a simple chocolate cake and bought ice cream for after. We watched a movie and had a few good laughs!
