Eleven years ago today I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy. I can’t believe how the time has flown by. It seems like yesterday that I was walking him into kindergarten. I think he cried every day for the first week (and I think I did too!) Last week he “graduated” from 5th grade and is now a middle schooler. Sigh. I’m seeing glimpses of his growing independence. Sometimes he wants me around. Other times I’m lucky to get a head nod as acknowledgement when he’s with school friends. He’s trying out the whole middle school hair thing. You know – the long floppy look. I think it’s kind of funny (although his dad isn’t so sure of that! LOL!) He is funny, sensitive, competitive, bright, and has an incredible memory. He loves history, junk food, baseball, and being outside with his friends. He hates vegetables, cleaning his room, when I put sunscreen on him, and change. He has changes coming soon with the start of middle school but I know he’ll adjust just fine. And change is good, right?
Happy Birthday JP! I love you. 🙂
