Tell me about nine year olds

My new grandson from my daughters wedding to his dad, will be here tomorrow. I'm excited to see him, he's a very bright kid. He's also in that age range I don't usually care much for...bratty mouthy kid age. I think he'll be mostly good but what can you tell me about the avg nine year old these days. Mine were into every sport and band and had a lot of friends. He's not a sports kind of kid. Sweet, a little chunky, not real athletic. Anything to watt hout for or pointers how to get to know him without it being. Creepy for him? We will have his sixth Christmas Tuesday night. I got him a basketball, jersey of his fave player, backpack, and a movie. Those ok?

I think those gifts sound lovely, and it's quite a few for a brand new member of the family. Kudos. Smile

Kids that age can still be very sweet and they can be holy terrors. They can be sports nuts and they can be gaming fools.

Just be relaxed, and don't try too hard. Wink
