It can't possibly be true....but somehow, some way, I have a TEENAGER!!! How in the world did our tiny, sweet, little shark lover turn into a tall, gangly, deeper-voiced teen?! That whole "blink of an eye" saying definitely rings true.
To celebrate this new phase of life for our Carter bug, we had an afternoon of fun with 6 of his new school friends. First, everyone walked to our house for an "American" lunch at Carter's request (PB&J sandwiches, chips, and watermelon), some time to play, and a birthday cake made of Dunkin' Donuts (I still cannot believe we live in a city with Dunkin'!). After a quick change of clothes, we loaded everyone up in the van and drove to a local amusement park/carnival at our city's park. Everyone had so much fun running from one attraction to another and I loved getting to see Carter with his friends.
I'm very grateful to be this kid's mom. Though we're heading into some uncharted territory with it's own challenges and unknowns, he truly is a good kid. I'm thankful for his kindness and his integrity. I'm thankful for his willingness to help when needed. And I'm thankful for his uniquely him personality. Welcome to your teenage years Carter!
