Yesterday was a big day. My oldest son, Anderson, turned 7. 7!!!! Time is definitely going by at the speed of light. He was a little tiny munchkin yesterday and now he could tell anyone the ins and outs of Star Wars and other related topics. He has lost his toddler appearance and is a full fledged boy. He has gotten taller and has a wicked sense of humor. He is testing everything and wants answers to all of his questions, right now!
It is a strange feeling to have a kid that is narrowing in on 10. I’m getting older. Not really wiser but older. Our kids are out of the baby stage and we are moving into “kid” time. I like this time. I’m ready to move on from the babyness but there is a catch in my throat when I think of the word “over”. Andy will never be a baby again. That time for him is over. Did I miss anything? Was I present? They are ours for such a short time. Am I giving them what they need to face this world? I guess time will tell. Needless to say, my baby is 7. I Like the boy he has become. I love spending time with him. I just really like him. Well, here’s to the years ahead, I’m sure they will be full. Happy Birthday Andy. I love you.
