Liam is now ten years away from being the age he will be when he graduates high school. Time is going much too fast. He can read now and well he can't tie his shoes yet but he's getting there and he plays rec sports (a little too alarmingly like I did as in he doesn't actually understand important concepts of sporst such as offense and defense) and draws wonderful pictures and is starting to learn about multiplication and well he is eight years old and just as wonderful as he ever was. And now it is two years in a row I am not with him on his birthday and it is so sad.
Arvo and I had a conversation recently about how it is scary that he is getting older. We were like, "one day, he is going to be a person." He will grow up and talk properly and be in high school and have drama of his own and graduate and go to college and start a life and that is a whole lot to think about. Thankfully there's plenty of years left until then, but he is still going to spend every one of those years growing and learning things but I know he will be the perfect little boy and then the perfect little man and then one day he will just stop being little I suppose. But he will always be little to me, somewhere. Even when he is a grown up lady killer begging me to stop calling him my baby cause it's embarrassing I will not because that is my job as his big sister and I will do it forever. :)
