Okay--now I'm the mother of two teenagers. My David is 13. Danya posted some great pictures of him in a birthday photo tribute on her blog. Yes, they are adorable. I love being the mother of teenagers. These are days I have really been looking forward to. But that didn't keep me from crying--a lot--yesterday morning. Ever since my kids were babies, I have kept a little journal just for them. I wrote every so often, just telling them stuff that I was afraid that I would forget to tell them when they were teenagers. Also, when I started my daughter's book, I didn't know at the time that I would homeschool, and so I didn't know how close we would be as a family, and so I also wrote thinking that maybe if she wasn't listening to me when she was a teenager, she would still read what I had to say. So, I gave her her book when she was 13, with lots of tears. And I gave David his book last night, so I was writing a last entry in it yesterday morning, and having some tears. I'm really glad that he's 13. I just didn't think it would happen so fast. He and I had a few hours at home last night, just the two of us, so I thought it would be the best time for me to present his little journal to him. He liked it, I could tell. Then we watched our favorite team and screamed as they played last night like they should have been the whole first half. Good game, guys! So, I'm way past the first half when it comes to parenting. I have one more journal to pass on...and two and a half years until I hand it off. Yep, the bases are loaded. Like you, I'm playing to win! |
