The "Exclamation Mark" at the end of our family is eleven years old today, and what an 11 years it has been! Smiles, tears, tantrums, laughter, and I'm just referring to how I've reacted to the boy's shenanigans. In honor of our angel/devil, I've compiled a list of "fun facts" about Mark.
1. Sausages, hot dogs, spaghetti, salmon, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, pizza (cheese or pepperoni), taquitos and chicken burgers are some of his favorite foods.
2. Sadie, our dog, is his favorite "toy." He used to fear dogs but now is fearless around them thanks to Sadie.
3. He can't use the bathroom or take a shower without singing. He used to sing opera, but any old song will do now.
4. Mark loves to climb trees and collect rocks.
5. Water play is his favorite activity. Often he'll dip his head in a sink full of water and create unusual hair styles.
6. The sound of pencils and crayons snapping in two greatly amuses him. He doesn't like to write or color, but he loves breaking writing implements.
7. He is a pro at cleaning the bathroom and actually likes to clean the toilet.
8. Baseball is his least favorite sport to play. It's also my least favorite sport to watch Mark play. (Just ask Aunt Melanie.)
9. Mark is a baby lover, just like his Dad. He will hold and cuddle anyone's baby.
10. One of his dislikes is talking on the telephone. He has to be bribed to have a phone conversation most of the time.
11. When he was a baby and toddler, he couldn't be near Lance or me without putting his hand on our faces or necks or both.
I love my Mark!!!

#6: Could that be because his mom loves to use writing implements so much and Mark resents the time stolen from him???
(I just can barely wait to know Mark as an adult!!! :)
