Speaking of aging...

Well he didnt have it at the 10 ft height but it was high and he can slam it and as you can see he is pretty dang happy about it! I cant believe that my baby boy is just a hair shorter than me.. how did that happen?! He has bigger feet than me and he reminds me all the time. He always walks by stretching his neck just to remind me that he is just about to pass me. He is also (I hate to say and shhh dont tell him) stronger than me! I HATE that.. hows a mom suppposed to bend him over her knee if hes stronger lol!

And yesterday I got a wee bit of a smack in the face. He usually comes home every day after school. He just hasnt been the type of kid to always have to hang out with friends after school, and like Ive said he doesnt really have anyone close by to hang out with and we are also usually super busy.

But yesterday he called me after school and asked if he could stay at the school.. then he went right to a friends house, then they took him right to baseball practice. So he was gone all dang day and I am such a dork, I totally missed him. I also thought it was pretty cool that he is getting to that age where friends are about to be a big deal and hanging out all day everyday is going to become a big deal. Im not looking forward to it but I also realize how much fun he did have and is going to have in the future. Im so grateful that he is such a smart kid. He doesnt feel like he needs to show off, brag, lie, swear, or any of that stuff to be "cool" he is just himself. He is turning out to be a pretty funny kid, a little bit of a ladies man.. YIKES and just an all around good kid. Im excited and scared to see where he goes in life, Im not excited for all this getting older stuff!!
