Avery Update

Avery earned another Merit Badge and is currently  finishing up 4 or 5 others. He enjoys scouts and the many camp outs they go on. This summer he is going to a youth scout training camp and scout camp.
 Below is his science fair project. He decided not enter it in the official science fair because space was limited and he wanted others to have the opportunity. And I think he wanted to avoid having to sit through a long awards ceremony, he is a teen with better things to do.

He is changing in so many ways. His voice is getting deeper, he has grown a ton (only 3 more inches and he will be as tall as me), he loves his friends and would rather walk home with them no matter the weather, and he changes his mind depending on the day. For example, last year he wanted to be dropped off at school closer to when it started but this year he wants to go earlier to hang out with friends. Most days I have to take him on the later side but last week I was able to take him earlier one day. He had not planned on the earlier time and was a little disappointed when I told him we could go earlier. Anyhow, he has been a pretty chill teen and I think things will continue that way. He has always been our compliant child.
