11 years ago Saturday J and I became parents. 11 years ago I was holding our bouncing baby boy, AJ, in my arms. Figuring out how to nurse him and swaddle him. We have spent 11 years loving him and being loved. I cannot believe how the time has flown. I can't believe, looking at him, that he was once in my womb. He is such an amazing person. In 2 years he will be a teenager, I guess that makes him a preteen now. Wow! Just like I did for E, I am going to chronicle a few things I want to remember.
- A is now enrolled in band, he is learning the trumpet.
- As of 08.13.10 he was 59" tall
- He wears a men's 7 1/2 shoe
- Even though he is only 11 his pants are a 14 Slim
- A & E have adopted 2 snakes that are now named Scales and Tails
- Our neighbor Tyler is one of As's best friends. They are together all of the time. This is great as Tyler is A's age.
- A took donuts to school for his class treat.
- Although family tradition usually means the birthday person gets to choose dinner, since the party was on his actual birthday, the boys jointly decided on the party food. We had a veggie tray, a fruit tray, pig in the blanket, and buffalo chicken dip. Both boys had their own cake, A a regular chocolate one, E a GF/CF chocolate one.
- A is in 5th grade, and although his timeliness is lacking, he is doing well. Who can blame the kid though, math isn't nearly as exciting as riding his bicycle, catching crawdads and snakes, and just being a boy.
- The boys have both joined cub scouts.
- Our trip to Florida was exciting for A, he was able to ride every ride. He still talks about the Aerosmith roller coaster at Disney Hollywood Studios.
