Lately my son has turned into a child that I do not recognize. He is growing out his hair (against our wishes-it looks like he just crawled out of bed), he argues, whines, moans, and groans at everything we say. And last night, he lost a front tooth--yup he thinks that makes him older and cooler. However, he has know idea that he looks like a hillbilly!!! Let's just hope the permanent tooth grows in before school pictures! : ) I never expected him to change so much in such a short time. Can I return this growing kid and get my baby back? He was supposed to be a mama's boy for at least a few more years, right? Ugh! Plus-him getting bigger just makes me feel older. Babies are easy- feed, change diapers, hold them, cuddle them, teach them to walk, crawl...but an actual kid...manners, respect, good character, honesty...apparently the real work has begun--dangit! Why can't they stay little? (Although- I do love watching him play football, and listening to him read his books!)
