I am now in possession of a teenager. And I couldn't be prouder.
I don't know how this all happened so quickly but I am so grateful that this teenager is the same lovable, cuddly, funny, kind, weird, smart, talented, goofy, bossy, hard working, dramatic, analytical, silly, serious, odd, and sweet boy that he has always been. I look at this young man before me and I'm so thankful that he is the same person he was as a little bitty boy. He makes me laugh so hard. He tries so hard to be good. He works so hard to do well. He puts other's feelings above his own. He is an amazing young man. He brings me so much joy.
Joe has just about caught up to me in height. Soon, probably mere weeks, he will be taller than me. Yet he still wants to sit with me, give me hugs, and tell me about his day.
Happy Birthday, Joey! I am so proud of you and love you so much!

betty
Happy birthday to him! Thirteen is a fun year, my middle is in the middle of it. They are fun (and TALL!).
Betty- Thank you! I see great things in his future. :)
Green Girl- I really am loving this age. He is the same exact kid he always was. And really no attitude that everyone always associates with teens. And he still loves to sit with me and give me hugs. It is just the best. And he is freaking hilarious. It is so fun to hang out with him. I remember when my kids were really small and I would lament them getting older and you would always tell me how much fun older kids are. I get it now. So, thank you for that.
And tall! Yes! He will be taller than me any second now.
Blessings and congrats to you.
Happy Birthday to your 13 year old
The Key...keep it real, real talk, real honesty and balance it all with gentle tenderness and love. I didn't have any issues with my teens because these were some of the tools i used
Stay blessed.
Happy, happy birthday to your Joey!
My oldest likes to come up to me and measure how close she is to being as tall as me. And I know it will be here before I know it!
Happy birthday Joey.
Rhapsody- Very good advice. So far so good! :)
