Happy Birthday, Little Dude!

DaGoddess @ 03:19

Teenager: n. A person between the ages of 13 and 19; an adolescent; a young person created for the sole purpose of creating gray hair and worry lines.

My boy is an official teenager today. The big 1-3. Sigh.

I got pretty lucky in the kid department. Both my children are wonderfully silly, sly, and downright adorable.

My son really changed my idea of what little boys were and are all about. I always thought a boy would be rough and tumble, dragons and dirt. He can be those things, but he’s also tender and kind, funny and very thoughtful. In short, he’s a blessing.

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, however, I do believe there will be more laughter than there will be tears. At least, I hope so. I’ll keep praying for him to grow strong and stay true to the beautiful heart he has.

Now, if only we can skip the dating part…

He’s a goofy little coconut, but he’s my goofy little coconut.

Happy birthday, kiddo! You done made me proud.

  1. Happy birthday LD! Anyone with October birthdays (like me) is cool by my book. BTW, so’s your mom.

  2. Happy Birthday LD! Hope it is a good one, the start of a great “new year” for you, and that it doesn’t lead to too many grey hairs and such for your Mom. *G*

  7. “Thank you, everybody!” from LD.

    We had a nice quiet start to our day (which was awesome after such a crazy day yesterday).

    Can you believe he’s a teenager??? I swear, he suddenly looks like one, too.
