baby/boy/man stuff
First, we start off safe and secure. We are buckled into everything so we don't get shaken around too much.
Then we grow up to be a happy and care-free teenagers. Yeah, I'm streatching the line a little by using the word happy and teenager in the same sentence. But he looks happy at least.
Then they have to grow up and do grown up like things!
One of the exciting things we did for PCH was open up a savings account for him. He is saving his hard earned allowance to purchase contacts (a very grown up thing to do). His eye doc said he was physically mature for them, but would recommend that before we got them, to see how emotionally mature he was to handle them....ergo the bank account and earning of the dough to deposit into it.
Here he goes....The first deposit...
I was a little (VERY) sad and a little (VERY VERY) proud that he wanted to go in himself and make the drop. Although, I'm pretty sure it was mainly so he didn't have to be seen with me.
I have one on the verge of being a man. He is doing grown up things and beginning to explore his world independently (in a very safe and secure environment of course!) and the other one is just embarking on a whole new alien world. I am a little panicked, and very exhausted, at the idea that I have to do all this hard work all over again. Yet, the warm fuzzy heart that comes with it makes it all worth while.
A mama has to take care of her boys and make sure they all grow up healthy and strong.
one big happy family!
Life is a transition and not an easy transition to boot.

Yes he is!

So this is where I am at!
