One More Year...
One more year until this
sweet, innocent, young boy...
turns into a (gulp) teenager!!
I am not ready...
So not ready for the
transformation to begin!
I have seen it happen with
his older brothers...
and I am just not ready
for my baby boy to morph into into one of these...
hehe
Honestly, it just happens
so fast!
One day you are arranges
play dates and the next...
they are dating!
Caleb and I have agreed,
however...
Some how I think I had
better get that in writing!
*wink*
Because, even though he
promised me he would not grow up...
Caleb went and turned 12
last week anyway!
Crazy kid!
He didn't talk much about
what he wanted or what he wanted to do...
but he had talked a lot
lately about 3 very special friends whom he had not seen in almost 2
years.
This precious group of
friends had known each other since they were 2 years old but
recently, because of schools and sports activities and just plain old
life...
they had not seen each
other in a very long time.
Sooooo...
I decided that it might be
fun to set up a little surprise for my sweet Caleb...
despite the fact that he
was reneging on our deal and growing right on up!
*grin*
And after only a few texts
between busy Mom's...
the plan was in place and
the old gang of 4 was ready to reunite..
only Caleb was clueless...
which is right where I
wanted him...
and on his birthday and
after soccer practice...
we took Caleb out to get
some pizza...
and...
to see some old friends...
it was awesome...
and as if no time had
passed at all between them...
they picked right back up
where they left off, and even though they were all so much more grown
up...
they still acted like
silly little boys who just could not be serious for one cotton
picking minute while I tried to get some serious pictures!!!
Ugh!
Boys!!!
hehe
They were giggling
laughing and talking and just being best buds and I was so very
thankful for the time that they got to spend together.
I feel like these boys
have a connection that will hopefully follow them throughout their
lives as they continue to grow up (sigh) and go their own ways.
Caleb, you are my funny,
sweet, compassionate, silly, awesome child who, irregardless of this
growing up thing...
still likes to snuggle up
every now and again and I am learning to hold on to and cherish those
times...
cause this...
has quickly turned into
this...
and while I know I tease
you about growing up, I am just so excited to see where the Lord will
lead you my sweet boy.
You have many gifts to offer and I cannot wait to watch as He reveals to you, your path and your purpose and while it may not always be easy...
it will always be blessed.
Happy Birthday my sweet
Caleb!
