My teenage son

It's hard to believe I've entered the teenage child phase of my life. When Matthais was born 13 years ago that seemed so far away. I can't believe how fast he seemed to grow up, how quickly the last 13 years of our life has gone by. I know I always say that and I'll probably say that for the rest of my life. I just feel bad that I didn't take more time to be mom and enjoy him when he was younger. He and I were such best friends when he was little. He was the baby I had hoped and prayed for and I was so happy to have him. I am still so happy to have him. It just seems like I didn't slow down enough and cherish our time together. As far as kids go he is a great one. Seriously, everyday I have someone tell me what a great kid his is. All I can say is I know. I didn't have anything to do with it...he just came that way...and I couldn't be prouder that he's mine. I'm not scared to have a teenage Matthais. He is a good kid who makes good choices. He is bright, articulate, and funny. He is everything a mother could hope for in a son. Happy Birthday Matthais, We sure love you!

You're such a cute mom. That's good advice - to enjoy them while they are younger. People always say that, and it's hard to sometimes, but kids really do grow up, and I feel the same as you.
