| And now he is 13! |
|
This was taken 2 years ago, brother and sister out looking for peacocks. I have a picture of him when he was 3, short ,plump,blonde and thought he could whoop the world. In the ten years that have past my son has lost some of his bravado. I am guessing that the death of his father and the near death of myself have taken some of his belief in super power away.
I see something new in him now. A young man struggling with his feelings. I know he loves his sister and i know he loves me. It is different now when he lets us know these things. Now it is a private experience, one he is not willing to share with the outside world.
He has also taken a new role on where it comes to his sister. He is not very happy with her liking boys or boys liking her. He has said a number of times that if that boy gets close I'm gonna have to talk with him. Though I am not sure exactly what he plans on saying.(and his sister is very capable of knocking any kid her size on his butt)
Another change is that he is now aware of girls. Not the "yuck, she's a girl" kind of awareness. I keep telling myself that this is the natural way of life. I guess I am just not ready for him to grow up and I know I have to let him grow like it or not.
Life is not so simple any more and I know it is going to get more complicated when my 8 year old decides to become 13.
I know, I know....BREATH ! It is going to OK , right?
OK, I guess that little panic attack is going to pass.
RIGHT??? Ruby
