Dexter decided to have a bowling party with all the boys his in grade (there are only 13).
The stats:
Weight: 98 lbs (around 67th percentile)
Height: 63 in (around 92nd percentile)
Dexter has had a year of major growth, both physically and mentally. He's officially starting the pubescent phase of life complete with rapid growth, acne and deodorant required. He also went through some tough challenges in the winter regarding some severe anxiety. Thanks to his teachers and a good therapist, he was able to gather some great new skills and work through it. In fact, he challenged himself by performing long monologues in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar in front of a big audience during that time. We are really proud of him for all the work he did and we are so happy that he's smiling again.
This year, Dexter has been played soccer, played tennis, and signed up for a Shakespeare production. He has a great group of friends and is praised for being a good influence on what can be a very loud group of kids in his class at school.
Dexter loves playing video games, watching TV, and playing poker or pool in his free time. She's still playing the piano and this year he will have the opportunity to play an instrument in the 6th grade band.
Dexter is still a big reader. He loved the Scythe and Maze Runner series and he has read some other books for school and continues to pick old favorites and read them again and again. In TV, he is love with the show Brooklyn 99 and The Simpsons. He's watching lots of movies adding films like Poltergeist and Forrest Gump to his repertoire.
Dexter is getting older and sometimes embraces the adolescent sloth behavior, be he continues to show us his witty, comedic self as well. He's a caring and kind person and we love him.
Happy Birthday Dexter!
