Gibbs Family Adventures!!: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREY!

Our little boy turned 5 today! I got to be "THAT" mom who brings in cupcakes for all the kids in the class to celebrate Trey's birthday. He had so much fun and felt so special. All his classmates got together and made him a big birthday card, and all individually drew him a picture. After school he got to come home and open his gifts from Jeff and I, then Alex and Thorsten came over and brought him gifts. He also got to choose 6 kids from his class to invite to his birthday party over the weekend. He was really excited about that and couldn't wait!

A little recap of the things Trey is into right now. Of course I can't remember everything but here are a few things...

- Spongebob is still his favorite character and cartoon!
- He absolutely LOVES basketball, the highlight of his week is getting to go watch Daddy play.

- He shoots basketball everyday

- started soccer a little over a month ago and loves it. although during soccer practice he sometimes picks up the soccer ball and starts dribbling it like it's a basketball. ha!

- loves school and always has stories to tell after each day.

- loves to read!

- loves painting!

- loves anything to do with numbers!

- Daddy and him always watch NBA.com top 10 plays of the day.

- loves to sing and sometimes makes up his own words :)

- enjoys teaching Faith how to say words and tries to get her to do everything with him unless it consists of him sharing his video game or basketball. he will usually go get her a different ball to play with.

- during the day he would rather have a peanut butter & jelly sandwich than any cooked meal.

- loves macaroni and cheese!

- loves bowling!

- he is learning more and more German and likes to speak it with Alex, Thorsten and Tim. Trey always tells me to say Dankeschön rather than Thank You, ha!

- loves getting phone calls from family members back home but acts very shy when actually talking on the phone.

- always asks where mema is and when I tell him she is up in heaven with God and watching over him he looks up in the sky and smiles as if to smile at her. :)

- he thinks Daddy is king of the world, he loves bragging to his friends at school that his daddy is a basketball player and his daddy can do everything. He wants to follow Daddy everywhere he goes and wants to be just like him.

- loves his little sister and gets upset when people don't give her attention right when they see her, ha. He always points out that Faith is here and to talk to her, ha. He's very protective of her already!

- he feels bad when people get sick. His teacher was sick one day at school and he walked up to her and asked if she was ok. He said "I know you're sick, I hope you feel better" and gave her a hug.
