the Grantologist

early morning McDonalds feast with great friend Daxton, on the day he moved away

Grant has taken to signing his name on his homework and school projects in a very creative fashion: Grantie, Granter, Gran-terrific, Granteronius, and the Grantologist are some of his choices. Good thing his 1st grade teacher was the very chill Mr. Reynolds.

G-money (that's one that Nate actually coined) lives for:

Harry Potter.

That could just about sum it up, but in non-Potter-reading moments, he can be found

playing soccer,

baseball,

riding his bike,

making alphabetical lists of things (still)

trying to talk me into pets,

making up new words to songs,

creating and memorizing jokes (some of which are quite good),

and occasionally, practicing the piano--and,

even more occasionally,

unloading the dishwasher!

Grant is a solid, steady, and thoughtful boy. He's got a sense of humor that keeps me on my toes. He's always in a good mood, and is a friend to many. Including me! I love his "replays" of all his sports-related action moments, even when I have to sit through several dozen per day.
