I know that this is my photography blog, but sometimes I like to share personal things as well. I've been talking about my sweet boy
ALOT lately...Birthday, Christmas, etc. but I just had to share a story that I hope he and I don't forget.
He had an endocrinology appointment today...as most of you know he's a little small for his age...and we've been back and forth for
YEARS about whether or not to do growth hormones, something that I haven't been too keen on because of how expensive plus...just
not really wanting to put all of that in his body. BUT...at the same time I don't want him to be
ONLY 5'2" (and at one point in time that WAS a prediction)! Well, we found out today that his height prediction is now at least 5'5 1/2" at minimum!!! I had always prayed for at least 5'6". SO...he now does not
qualify for growth hormones...we are excited! He has always told me that he doesn't mind being short and
he gives himself nicknames of Shorty...Short Stuff, etc.
A...N...Y....W...A...Y....Not too sure why I had to share all of that but, needless to say he wasn't too excited before the appointment but after he was. We were singing songs, driving down the road and I was chewing gum and yes...I made a
popping sound..I know, not too "lady like"...I would only do that around certain people!!! Then, he wanted me to "show" him how to make the
popping sound...so I was explaining to him how I do it and we were laughing
sooooooo hard as
he was trying sooooo hard to do the sound. At one point he said..."Mom...I got air!!!" I
WISH I would have had my camera so I could take pictures of his puckered mouth!!! He took one with my phone but I don't know how to get it to my computer!!!
The reason I share this story is because I'm SO GLAD that he can still have fun with me...laugh with me...and sometimes even think I'm cool!!! He is
NOW 14 YEARS OLD...High School is next year...he's gradually leaving the roost....friends are important and I'm glad he's got some great ones....he has so many "grown up" decisions to make...for goodness sake in 4 years we will be planning his GRADUATION!!! Oh, it's going too fast!
Those fun little memories (even if some people don't think they are funny!) will be with us FOREVER...I will always remember this day and the little bit of silliness we had..he's growing up and I'm so proud of him!!
I Just Love That Kid!!!
Give yours a hug today and teach them how to blow bubbles and
Pop their gum..you'll always remember the fun!
