>>Big Kid: 8 to 12 Years Old << At this age range, he's been through a lot of school. He is mostly independent. He can dress himself, do his own homework and generally take responsibility for things such as chores, feeding the fish etc. He loves video games and will sometimes forget that he has other things to do when he gets wrapped up in them. He still retains many of his more little kid tendencies. Though many other kids for example, have out grown things like Pokemon, he's still immersed in all things Pokemon. He also has a tendency to watch cartoons and tv shows aimed at a much younger audience, such as Dragon Tales, Arthur, Blues Clues, Franklin the Turtle etc. Alex Rian likes to play outside, usually riding bike, playing on his scooter, rollerblading and skateboarding. When he's at home and there's no company, he lounges around in just his underoos and a t-shirt. Alex Rian wears underwear in the brief variety, always with cartoon prints on them usually with generic prints like stars and planets, dinosaurs, pawprints, safari animals or with popular cartoons printed on them such as Pokemon, Dragon Tales, Blues Clues, 101 Dalmatians, Marvel/DC Superheroes etc. He rarely, if ever wears plain underwear! At bedtime, it's not uncommon to see Alex Rian wear a diaper or pullups with his night time attire as he still has night time accidents. Diapers are also occasionally used for long car rides, long movies and such as a preventative measure against any mishaps or embarrassing events on the chance Alex Rian falls asleep and has an accident. Occasionally he's made to wear a diaper if he gets in trouble and is followed up with lots of parental love and attention to curb any misbehavior. Even when he is behaving, he still appreciates being loved and given attention, even if a seems a bit infantile at times. He doesn't mind being carried, held, rocked to sleep and tucked in for bedtime, In fact he prefers it.
