I am officially the mom of a 12 yr old!!! Happy b-day to one of my FAV people: BIG KID!!!
Here are some of favorite things about big kid:
remembers to say yes ma'am/no ma'am
cares about others' feelings
buoyant and optimistic
lives in the moment
strives to be responsible and honorable
has a passion for family and country
For his bday feast, big kid has requested plain spaghetti noodles and cold green beans from the can (lil brother says "yuck!"). So at least there will be no slaving over the stove. But of course-it will be served in the dining room with the aplomb and ceremony that plain spaghetti deserves! This weekend we'll host some pals for some backyard nerf wars/flashlight tag/wienie roast. Will post a pic of the 12yr old bday crowd soon!
Just today, I was about to run over to Publix and they were all in the yard playing. James was laying mulch in the back. I was getting in the truck and said, "You guys have fun and be careful." E looked at me and said, "Yes ma'am!" He DOES always have good manners and is such a sweet guy! Hope he had a great birthday!
