13

 I am feeling so many different emotions.  Today the boy who made me a mother is 13 years old.   A TEENAGER!  I'm not sure I'm mentally ready to parent a teen but I'll take it one day at a time.  

The years go by so fast.  

13 years went by way too fast!

Matthew you are smart, talented, quiet, kind, and affectionate.  I have enjoyed watching you grow each day of your childhood and you'll always be my little boy.  

It's bittersweet!  I love experiencing each stage and look forward to what's to come but at the same time I wish I could snuggle that little baby in my arms again.  

Over the weekend he wanted to go to a car museum in Hershey.  We also took him to purchase a guitar, something he's been asking for in the last few months.

Today the kids spent the day doing school from home because the buildings are closed the next two weeks.  Then in the evening my sister-in-law joined us for pizza and cake.  

My husband is the baker of the family and nailed it again.   Matthew wanted a Fortnite cake and his dad delivered.

Now we're all sitting on the couch together watching Toy Story.   Hey, some things don't change.
