Ralph started his day making himself pancakes this morning. Its not a typical weekday breakfast choice but it is what he requested last night - batter was whipped up and ready for this morning.
Most mornings he does have cereal - his cereal choices have turned a little more "grown up" lately and include Frosted Mini Wheat, Raisin Bran, Cinnamon Life Cereal along with Honey Nut Cheerios and Dunkin' Donuts Mocha Latte and Caramel Macchiato.
Ralph hasn't officially been measured recently but continues to grow. He has moved adult Small shorts and medium tshirts. Current shoe size is 5.5.
Ralph is caught up on watching The Office series. He plays chess online and various games on Steam. He also continues to watch plenty of videos (and listen to music) on youtube.
Ralph is growing into his role as a teenager. I can't keep tabs on his chats with friends (texts, calls, and other means of communicating) but know they are taking place.
He does help a friend who has a mowing business once in awhile for some extra cash.
He is keeping up with scout activities. He currently serves as his troop's Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and has camped out the last two weekends - one with the Order of the Arrow group and one with his troop.
He is also continuing with CCD this year.
Ralph is halfway through a teen fitness class at the Y which will allow him to use the fitness room when he completes the class.
