I am trying to adopt my friend's theory that you don't cry when they reach milestones like this, you cry if they DON'T. So I'm celebrating that he is going away to college, because it's better than crying that he's going to be living in our basement, eating potato chips and playing video games.

In all se...Why are you doing this to me?? *sob sob*<br />In all seriousness, you should be one proud mama! And like I'm already telling myself, we can't stop time and it won't do me any good to wallow, so be happy for this moment. Be happy to get to have it! <br />Congrats to your son!! <br />:) xoMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531893090463800799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-88435749543897206462013-05-03T13:57:33.033-05:002013-05-03T13:57:33.033-05:00Thank you!

Take on leadership roles in extra curricular activities.

I think I just had defective boobs. The milk came out just fine, but neither of them latched on well enough to get any without pumping. <br /><br />Projectile pooper should be a great fratboy nickname (don't you think?). Cheers!

He's just stinking smart. <br /><br />Our boys DO sound alike. If yours makes it to a 15, let me warn you now that that is NOT something you just walk into a store and buy whenever he needs shoes.<br /><br />Oh, and he actually spit up some milk (not vomit, SPIT UP) when he was 17 months old. Now he has a cast iron stomach.

Hard to believe that little two year old is the same handsome young man in the other photo. <br />Our sons sound similar. I know projectile vomit, sister. The kind where no one will hold him, because "spit-up" is guaranteed. <br />Mine is only 14 and in a 13 and 1/2 shoe, and he doesn't even have hair under his arms yet. We can't afford to feed him, either.<br />I will now cross my fingers that he also gets the full ride. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.com
