I knew the day would come...but I never really knew...that 4751 days later;
I would be as madly in love with this boy...my little boy...even when he wasn't so little anymore.
Today:
his shoe size matches his age
I mistake his clothes for his father's when I fold the laundry
his voice is cracking so much it even makes him laugh
we have an arsenal of Axe deodorant products and men's colognes on a shelf just for him
he gets our jokes
he has mastered the fine art of sarcasm
I have to crane my neck backward to talk to him
he smiles the most adorable smile when a pretty girl walks by
he marvels in the mirror at the muscles that have appeared on his arms and at the most amazing six pack abs he's developed
the girls get giddy around him
he still hugs his Mama; only I'm the one who gets wrapped in his arms instead of vice versa
he and his dad seem to have funny man secrets together that they won't let us girls in on
he dreams of going to West Point
he sneaks in and rests his favorite stuffed animal beside his sister as she lays sleeping; ready to let go
and that marvelous twinkle in his eye when he wants something...
still paralyzes me into complete submission (some things never change!)

Finally he is embarking on this amazing journey through his Teen Years...
hopefully he remembers to go easy with the wake...'cause Mama's in the dingy right beside him!
AHOY!

Oh my goodness!! 13!!!!I can't believe it! It seems like ages ago that I first met him and now he's all grown up...I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it :) I can't wait to see him in person. Happy Birthday WB!
ReplyDeleteDita - I love how you captured him in these pictures! Just beautiful, my friend!
Happy Birthday to your sweet guy! It's amazing when our boys make the change from little to big and we soon find ourselves looking up to them! I still can't believe mine is 17 and days away from being a senior!! Enjoy this time with your son and all the fun that teendom brings!
