I think Anders will be a virtuouso pianist with those huge hands and long fingers. Anna's parents and brother are very musical and my side is pretty musical except for me.
Anders will probably be somewhat sporty, but not a sports nut like me. I can see him playing and enjoying a thinking man's game like baseball. He'll like basketball, but not as much as baseball. He will probably have no time for football. He'll probably enjoy something weird like soccer, which he will probably call football.
He will be really good at school. He will correct his teachers when they are wrong, much to their consternation. Teachers will let him talk until he gets ridiculed, then he will learn to keep it in a bit. He might come to kindergarden with some facts about Grover Cleveland, as Anna always jokes he will. I imagine he will be a hit with the nerdy girls.
Anders will earn a partial music and partial academic scholarship to a jock school like Stanford. I will encourage him to fulfill his manifest destiny. Plus, I want to visit him at a place with great weather. Anna is more realistic, saying he will matriculate as Jon Teaches Here U.
Here's to Anders and the high school class of 2028 and the college class of 2032! (He will be held until the class of his erstwhile birthday(if Mom thinks that's alright)).

He was born in Minnesota and you don't mention hockey as the weird sport he's going to pick up? I'm dissapointed.
