Happy Birthday, Griffin!

The big man turns 8 today! He is having an awesome day, enjoying summer break (although, I did hear a wistful, "I miss my teacher and friends" this morning.) I could not be more proud of my little dude. He is so smart, so kind, so sweet and sometimes, let's be real here, so bratty and disrespectful. It's a right of passage and I wouldn't want him any other way. The lead up to 8 has had some trying times. He is testing our boundaries, BIG TIME, and while it can be frustrating, I know this is all a natural part of him finding his place in the world. I am so so thankful to be on this journey with him! He teaches me more about myself constantly and I am grateful for all the lessons learned.
Last night he had a sleepover with his other BFF, Madeline. They have such a blast together! Today is Madeline's Dad's birthday also, which they think is so cool to share.

So without further ado, he is this year's birthday interview:
