This Saturday marks my grandson Teddy’s 15th birthday. Here is is engaged in one of his favorite leisure activities – video games. He is a special fan of Super Mario and Pokemon games. He also loves to zap Grandpa in card games like Hearts, Euchre, and Chase the Ace.
Teddy is growing fast. He’s taller than both of his grandparents now and on the way to catching his dad. He’s an expert at martial arts, working his way through the black belt levels.
He’s just finishing his first semester in Grade 9. I was down visiting for a few days recently and I had fun going over his math and science homework. We did problems in volume and surface area, as well as a number of electrical circuit diagrams. Teddy likes technology and is a big fan of Mark Rober.
Next semester has more of an arty feel – drama and geography and English. I’m sure he’ll do well though.
Teddy continues to be a kind gentle and respectful young man. His Nonna and I are very proud of him.
All the best Teddy and I hope we can be around for years to come, to see you grow and develop your gifts.
