My oldest son B turns 16 today.
Its hard to think of having a child as old as 16 when i havent had one yet lol. Every time he gets older it almost surprises me as to how he keeps getting older! Hes 6 ft tall, drives, has a girlfriend he sees once in a grand while. Her parents and we tease them constantly. But its all in good fun. Hes such a responsible good kid. Its hard to get angry at him when really despite being slightly moody sometimes, hes really a good kid. I dont have any fears of him getting a girl pregnant, drinking or doing drugs. Although he has gotten high, he scarred himself so badly he dosent want to do it again lol. Hes a good kid in all except doing school work lol. Hes not so good with that. But im trying to work on it with him.

I wish i could say i know what kind of man he will one day be. I know hes going to be a kind person. Thoughtful. Good with kids Even though he dosent want them. Confident and not the least bit self conscious. A bit reserved maybe when he dosent know you. Not on his video game haha.

Its interesting watching your kids get older. Learning their more adult likes and dislikes… And feeling proud yet absolutely helpless over their lives now.

Happy Birthday B.
