Well, today is it. I am officially the Mom of a teenager today. My oldest son is celebrating his 13th birthday today :)
He is excited. I am happy for him, lol.... and more than a little nervous about this. I love teenagers and working with them (I am the teens youth leader in my church so I deal with junior high as well as high school kids) but having one of my own seems a little more scary. We have already been dealing with some of the preteen/teen issues the last couple of years which continue to be frustrating. But, I already know, that's life with a teenager :)
Feel free to leave him a birthday comment - I'll let him read them later on tonight :) (oh, and his nickname is Mickey Mouse!)
Oh, and wish us ALL good luck and prayers as we open this "new chapter" in his life today!!
