Our son Dylan is growing up before my eyes, I’ve noticed the glaringly obvious truth that my first baby is changing and maturing. He eagerly tells you that he’s a “pre-teenager” and I’ve noticed that he’s just different about some things. Probably small and unnoticeable things to anyone who doesn’t know him well, but Mommy’s know. Today I took him to the bank to open his first savings account, he was OVER THE MOON excited. The bank lady spoke to him directly and explained everything to him in detail, I think he felt very grown up and responsible for his own money now. It was fun to see him excited about saving (a talent that he surely didn’t inherit from me). He got to pick his own pin number and was thrilled about that too, and exclaimed that he couldn’t tell me what it was because it was private! LOL! I remember him as a toddler, the sweet little freckle covered face and laid back attitude. He’s always been just a dream child, in fact sometimes when he’s a bit less than perfect some-days I know it really affects me because the kid is just so dang good all of the time. I love that kid, I don’t want him to grow up too fast and leave me. I have anxiety everytime I allow myself to think of him all grown up off at college or getting married and moving away (and by away I mean down the block because living in at least the same city is essential to my plans!) ROTFL.
Do you have pre-teens that are aging and changing before your eyes too? Let me know how it’s going for you?
