gm, i'm curious, how old is kellen?
my daughter and i got caught in a sudden rain fall on our walk home from school. it was glorious. we laughed the whole time, got soaking wet, stomped in puddles, the whole bit. it's cool being a dad
He's 12. Pretty serious kid, brings his novels with him everywhere he goes, saves up money to buy things he wants like a laptop. Likes to tinker things - take them apart, reassemble them. Decent soccer player and that's really the only sport he enjoys playing. He watches almost none of them. Thinks football is populated by cavemen, though he won our first family fantasy football league this past year despite knowing maybe 1-2 players. Into his music. Set up some sort of server for his buddies to play Minecraft and they all view him as an IT god. When we need a new TV or appliance, we have him research the best deal, price and reviews and then buy it. He thrives on that stuff. Loves planning trips that involved air travel and looking for deals on those. He's not like me at all.
His 10 year old brother is my clone. Good student, but not an over achiever. Was asked to take the tests for TAG, but was politely informed 'not quite there'. Watches ESPN in the morning before school, watches most of the games with me, plays every sport we let him play and then backyard sports of those we don't. Has more friends than the rest of our family combined, gets along with everybody but is a fierce competitor when it comes to sports. He plays on my U12 team and doesn't shy away from contact from kids much bigger. Very thoughtful, well mannered, funny, great with his little sister.
Outside of looking a like, the two of them could not be more different than they are.
they sound like great kids. I was just curious as to how old he was in regards to staying home alone all day. But loved the insight.
