Oh my!  This is too hard to believe.

Hot Rod is now in the 5th grade.  This is getting serious.  I am bawl-eyed.  I don’t want him to grow up.  I won’t allow it.  How will I stop it?  I am all for him having the Peter Pan syndrome – “I won’t grow up – I’ll never grow up – I will stay a boy forever.”  (I don’t re-a-l-l-l-y mean this, but…)

“Train up a child …”  Lord knows all of us are trying, but it is a big scary world out there.

At the same time, I must admit that I am in awe of this boy child – soon to be a “tween”.  He prays for me and asks others to pray for me.  How sweet is that?  He is funny, interesting, and smart.  Completely wonderful!  Oh yes.  He even recognizes when I use dark chocolate chips in the cookies.  Perhaps he is developing a “sophisticated palate”.  How good is that?

Love that boy – “to the moon and back.”

Blessings to you and yours,

I am blessed!
