Happy Birthday!
It’s is The Boy’s birthday today. He is officially 15. As I pointed out to The Hubby last night, we now have 365 days of peace of mind left – that is, until the day he gets his drivers’ learners permit!
I expect he will be a pretty decent driver – but it’s a bit nerve-wracking to think of.
Just 15 short years ago (the days are long, but the years are short!) I was lying in a hospital bed, so tired that it took actual effort to hold on to the baby! And now he is just one year away from starting his real independence from us. You know, when he can get into a car and leave us, all on his own.
Next thing you know, he’ll want to move out, go to college, meet a girl (or two, or more), find the right girl, get married, have babies and wonder where the hell time went as his 16 year old drives off.
