Birthday for my oldest

My oldest son just turned 11. Its been a rough road so far, he's had some setbacks. But he is so smart and intelligent. He has my personality and at times I see me when I was his age. The biggest difference is that unlike girls who want a beautiful birthday cake with tons of friends over and a nice party with tons of gifts, my son just wanted brownies instead of cake, only 2 friends to go to the pool with and cash for gifts instead of presents. He makes my job so easy.... I'm so glad I'm getting to see him grow up and be a part of it.
