Ode to Andrew on his 15th Birthday!

15 things I love about Andrew:

1)    He makes me laugh.

4)    He takes out the garbage (see #2).

5)    He is smart and his grades show it.

6)    He is a hard worker (see #3, #4, #5).

7)    His favorite way of stalling bedtime is chatting with me : )  I pretend it’s annoying,     
       but secretly I love the time together.  Shhhh, don’t tell.

8)    When he is Captain Obvious, it makes me feel smart (see #1).

9)    He is a mini version of his dad, and I sure love his dad.

10)  He's fun to hang out with.

11)  He asks questions and listens (generally) to my explanations.
