WHO TRULY HAS GREAT FRIENDS AND PRETTY MUCH LOVES THEM MORE THAN LIFE RIGHT NOW
SOMETIMES, I JUST WANT HIM HOME, BUT I GET IT TOO. I SO REMEMBER 15 AND 16.
WE WENT FOR A DRIVING LESSON RECENLTY. :) IT WAS CUTE.
(he is the one lifting the kid in this one)
HE WAS BACKING UP OUR EXPLORER, AND HIT THE GAS TOO FAST....OFF WE WENT!
INSTEAD OF HITTING THE BREAK, HE LOOKED AT ME! LIKE HE HAS HIS WHOLE LIFE, WITH A FACE OF 'YOU FIX IT'. 'MOM!', "I'M GONNA FALL!!!", "CATCH ME!"
I LAUGHED AND JUST SAID, "WHAT! DON'T LOOK AT ME!" "YOU, HAVE TO FIX THIS"
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE, AND TRUE, AND DEAD ON AS FAR AS WHAT OUR RELATIONSHIP IS SHIFTING INTO. HE HAD TO FIX IT. HE WAS ON HIS OWN TO MANAGE THE IMPENDING DANGER. BUT, I WAS THERE, AND I ALWAYS WILL BE...
ITS SAD AND SO SWEET AT THE SAME TIME.
I HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF RAISING HIM, AND PART OF ME WANTS HIM TO JUST KNOCK OFF THIS GROWING UP STUFF. I WANT HIM ALL TO MYSELF AND DON'T WANT TO SHARE HIM WITH THE WORLD YET.
HIT THE BREAKS ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love that boy too! It is so fun to see them all growing up together, even if we do want it to slow down. I get it! I hate thinking about the day he leaves and doesn't come back for 2 years but I know he will have great companions, like his buddies here:) Thanks for raising such an amazing boy so my boy can have him as a friend!
