My preteen boy

Turning 11

1.  We now have a harder time getting up in the morning (he used to be up at 6:30 and ready to rock the world, but now 8 o'clock practice is a dread....)
2.  More vocal about likes and dislikes, sometimes even give attitude (black mouth black face)
3.  Need to talk to him like a adult and allow more room for freedom
4. Like to tour the teen section of the comic section in the library, meaning it's almost out of mommy's comfort level because graphics novel can have language graphic that is inappropriate for preteen but I wouldn't know.  (Daddy is now my referring expert, but his level of acceptable is not the same as mine...)
5.  Taking on more responsibility at home, sometimes.  He would now pick reading over cooking, but he would still help when he is asked (not like before, cooking was like playing, but I guess it's no longer new and fun)
6.  Very good and patience when working with children.  You can see the true enjoyment when playing with the little ones
7. In general, a gentle, reasonable , and kind kid
