The Boys - Part 3: Mario

Mario


Mario.  Where to begin.  Mario is all over the place.  Especially after a little bit of sugar.  Really, seriously the kid should not be ingesting sugar.  However, that is all beside the point.  Mario is ornery.  He is great at getting in trouble and with his cute smile equally as good at getting out of trouble.  He tends to keep that behavior at home though.  In school he is a model student.  Honor Roll student.  His Spanish teacher recently told me that, "Mario is a born leader."  Maybe she was giving him a compliment or maybe just saying he really enjoys bossing people around.  I can see it being taken either way.


Mario is very good at taking the temperature of a room.  He knows when it is time to play and when it is time to help someone through a rough day with a hug.  He cares for all of us here in the house.  Always willing to tell a quick joke or just be there when someone needs it.  His heart is just about as big as you will find in a 13 year old his size.  Yea that's right folks, Mario is officially a teenager!  Now we have five of those in the house!

Mario loves music.  Especially music in English.  He is constantly singing even if he isn't quite sure about the lyrics.  He also loves reading.  He has read a few chapter books this year including the first two book of the Chronicles of Narnia.  He is hoping to read a few more during our upcoming break from school.  He also recently made his debut on the school's soccer team playing defense. 


We love our Mario and love watching him grow into what we are sure will be a great man.
