and that is totally his mother's fault...
i have a habit of automatically saying
the next year
if you ask how old i am...
so right now i would say i'm 42
because...
i will be 42...
next september.
i kind of did the same thing with the kids
and now i have 12 completely messed up
arguing that he is actually 13
{which, i guess by my twisted theory, he actually would be...}
anyhow...
my boy turned 12 on saturday
hard for me to fathom...
he has a girlfriend named grace
and more cat scatches than i could count...
big brown eyes and a messy head of hair
always laughing and always talking
still always looking to his older sister for approval
the sweetest boy there will ever be.
happy birthday, 12...
i love you to pieces.
