Mer-Boy is getting ready to turn ten-years-old in a few weeks.
I'm going to have a child in the double digits.
He's already pulling away, growing up, just like all those strange faces who peeked into my sarong, or carrier said he would...
He shadows the guards at the pool, he gets to "Officially" be a Jr. Lifeguard when he turns ten.
Has a damn good arm, and loves baseball.
How did it happen that I let him grow up? How did he accidentally slip from my grasp and become so not-a-toddler? No Kisses, no hugs, I miss them so...you have to let him go mama.
You have to let him grow.
They do grow up way too fast, don't they? My youngest son will be a high school freshman next month... when did THAT happen! LOL
But, you can take comfort in the fact that Mer's becoming a fine young man.
As they say, life is what happens when you're making other plans (or something like that).
Okay, I'll shut up now... :)
