Harrison Reed is 9!

Today is Harry's birthday. Here are nine little things about Harry in honor of his Birthday...

1. Harry has a huge heart for the Lord. He is my prayer warrior and has a spiritual maturity about him that I love. He was born on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

2. Harry is an incredible brother. He looks up to and respects Will and he looks out for Kate. He would do anything for either of his siblings. He is so sweet with Kate and he will play all sorts of silly games with her. They invented a game called "ghostie, ghostie." He is really sweet to Scout too.

3. He is quietly brilliant. Harry is super smart but he is not that kid who is a know it all. In fact, until you really get to know Harry, you would have no idea just how bright he is. He is going to do incredible things in life.

4. He is very compassionate. We were talking about a kid at Harry's school the other day who has a lot of behavior issues. Because of this boy's behavior, he has trouble making friends. I told Harry that we should pray for the boy and Harry lovingly explained, "Mom he is just really creative and sometimes that makes him get carried away." I love that Harry could see the boy's gifts.

5. Everybody loves Harry. It is true. He makes friends easily wherever he goes (without even trying). He has a lot of charisma.

6. He is determined. Harry gives 110% to everything he does whether it is school work, judo, baseball, soccer, a board game or an art project. He is very driven and such a hard worker. The only thing he could work a little harder at is keeping his room and the playroom neat.

7. He loves to learn. Harry gets so excited every time they begin a new planner at school. He soaks up whatever the topic is (right now it is architecture) and fully immerses himself in it. Then, he comes home and teaches me everything he is learning. I love that.

8. He is humble. Harry would never tell you about his athletic or academic successes. (He'll leave that to me;) He does not brag or show-off.

9. He is creative. Harry is always coming up with clever ideas. I have posted several of his entrepreneurial ways here before.

I love you very much Harry and I am so proud of the values and morals that you display on a daily basis. I am honored to be your Mom. Happy Birthday!

You can read about Harry's other b-days here and here. I realized that I mentioned a lot of the same characteristics year to year so they must really be the ones that stick with me.
