Happy Birthday, my dear child!

Happy Sunday everyone! I have a question to every parent out there, where does time go when you are not looking at your kids? It's like yesterday you were just taking them out of the hospital, making sure you were strapping them safely in the car seat... All of the sudden today they are asking you if it's the right time for that (gasp!) driver's permit class. My youngest turned 15 this past week, and it's been a little bit of an adventure for me. A bittersweet kind of one. My sweet little boy is changing, and kind of fast for me. But it's OK  and it is a part of life. He is still a very thoughtful, loving son to me. Now don't get me wrong, he is still a teenager...enough said! But I still see glimpses of that little toddler, my little ray of sunshine in the morning that used to make me smile every day! For him I made this card, because every afternoon when I pick him up from school this is what I see. Looks familiar? :-)

    A super card. Can I let you into a little secret? My baby boys are now 45 and 42 and I quite often still see them looking like this - it's usually iPads now though! Thanks for joining us at OSAAT. Hazel x

    Heehee! Looks VERY familiar! I don't talk to my boys until they look up at me. ;) Multi tasking is not one of their strongest points as teenagers. Thank you so much for playing along in our Message Me challenge over at Raise The Bar!
