Yesterday

I'm having a hard time acknowledging that my middle child is turning 15 tomorrow. Why does it seem like yesterday he turned five? I miss the little boy but I'm honored to know the young man.

He doesn't need help with putting on his shoes and he quit drinking milk out of crayon cups a long time ago. But his eyes still sparkle with mischief and there isn't an animal that he doesn't love.

We celebrated part of his birthday tonight since we will be heading for the zoo in the morning. His brother and sister got him some great gifts--money from Cole and the next book in his current favorite series. Mom and Dad were a little more practical this year but a Wii game did get thrown in for fun.


Happy birthday, Buddy. Enjoy being 15!
