If you think having an eleven year old boy means...
...having his hungry, 11 year old friends showing up in packs of five for dinner at the last moment (thank you kind neighbors for feeding my son when he shows up in the pack at your door)...
...having arguments about rules that have been established long ago, but are being recently challenged...just because...
...hearing the words "I don't care" as a response to all threats...
...not being able to carry him to bed after he falls asleep on the couch while watching a movie with you...
...lack of interest to give you a hug when you need one...
...having just a few more years as a little boy...
Yup! (Adirondack-ian for "yes")
This is exactly what having an eleven year old boy means...
I'm always trying to catch up, but he always stays a couple steps ahead...
If you think that having an eleven year old boy is...
...joyful and grand
...painful and hard
...happy and fun
...scary and worrisome
You're right!
Don't waste any time, go and soak all of him up...
