Graham

Graham is one of those kids who makes life more fun simply by being himself.

He is absolutely hilarious. His sense of humor keeps our entire family laughing, and I honestly never know what is going to come out of his mouth next. He has impeccable comedic timing without even trying. He can make an ordinary day unforgettable with one perfectly timed comment or facial expression.

He's also incredibly bright. His brain works at about a hundred miles an hour, which is wonderful... and also means his ADHD keeps all of us on our toes. He sees the world a little differently, asks questions no one else would think to ask, and somehow connects ideas in ways that constantly surprise me.

He's the kind of kid who is naturally good at almost everything he tries. Sports seem to come easily to him. Whether it's swimming, baseball, football, or just picking up a new skill, he has an incredible amount of natural athletic ability. That said... if it involves running for long periods of time, he'll happily let someone else do that. Efficiency is one of his greatest strengths.

One of my favorite things about Graham is his confidence. He's incredibly proud of the six-pack he's convinced everyone should know about, and if you've met him for more than five minutes, there's a good chance he's already told you. He wears that confidence with such innocence that you can't help but laugh.

Graham also has a special relationship with both of his siblings. He can spend hours playing with Keeler one minute and then turn around and be Etta's bestie the next.

More than anything, Graham brings laughter into our home. He reminds me not to take life quite so seriously. He finds joy in the smallest things, makes friends wherever he goes, and has this remarkable ability to make everyone around him smile.
