How is it possible that this boy is getting so big! Every once in a while, he stops me in my tracks, when I notice how grown up he is becoming. It is so fun in some ways — I love his personality, and spending time with him. He is getting so funny, and witty. He is getting more responsible, and slick. Even though I try to stay ahead of him, I still have three other kids, and he gets me sometimes — but not usually. He is my total buddy, and my favorite times with him are late at night, or early in the morning…when it is just the two of us in his bed.
On the other hand…where is my baby?!? Where is the always-smell-good boy I birthed? Why does he need to challenge so many things I say? And why does school take him away so much of the day, when I want to be with you?
Scout,
You are rad. I love being your mom most days. Those other days…I remember the good days! Always adore your siblings. Always be kind to others. And mostly, always stay a hero in your mom’s eyes. I love all 8.75 years of you!
Love, Your Mama
