Andrew is always high energy with a heart of gold. He truly thinks of others before himself. If I offer him a choice between blue or red Gatorade, he picks blue and leaves the red for Will "because red is Will's favorite color".
He is always happy. He wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. He never tires of playing baseball. Even when it's hot, humid, and his hair is thick as a wool hat.
And he's a good baseball player. Because he tries so hard all the time.
He loves to work. He goes around the house looking for things that need fixing. (We have a few marks to prove it!)
His favorite thing to do is play baseball with his dad. It's the first thing he asks when Matt walks in the door. And they both could play for hours if the sun would allow it.
And...Andrew loves to talk. All the time. But he is hilarious. I mean, he says something to make us laugh all the time.
A few of my favorites that I've jotted down:
"Will, if we weren't in the same family and Mom let us fight each other, I would totally box your head off!"
"Mom, what is the secret ingredient you put in all your food to make it taste so good?"
Me: Andrew, you look like me, and I look like Pop Pop, so you look like Pop Pop.
Andrew: Yeah, except we don't have that hole on the top of our head.
Andrew: I wish I had diet Coke breath
Me: Do I have diet coke breath?
Andrew: Yeah.
Andrew: I really want to go visit Durham. After all, it IS my home planet.
Andrew kept asking me about a Flower of the Lion??? He meant a DANDELION!
"Dad has to work? I thought he already graduated!"
Mimi (while lugging her suitcase to the car): Mimi doesn't pack light.
Andrew: No, Mimi, you packed dark.
After one of his siblings was punished for being disrespectful to me, Andrew looked at me and said "Mom, you're a great mom. Now that's respect! " ( Eddie Haskell much?)
