Today my son turns 9

I think I will have to repeat this to myself over and over again, "Today, my son turns nine." because otherwise I'm not sure I will believe it to be true.

He is definitely turning into someone I can say I am proud to know and call my own.
He is always willing to lend an encouraging word.

He takes the world on his shoulders.

He always offers a smile.

But he is growing up.
He does things on his own...
He has his own ideas and agenda...
and He no longer wants to give his Momma kisses in public.

Yep... Today, my son turns nine.
