Inching closer.

Our oldest son will turn 11 in a couple of months. It is seeming each day like we are inching closer to having a teenage in our home. Teenagers are a foreign thing to me. Many of the people we graduated with have already been through the experience of raising a teenage and have warned us what a tough time it can be. I am not looking forward to cell phones, moodiness, and worrying about severe acne treatment issues. I try to embrace each stage of life with my children as comes but this one might be a struggle. I am starting to see changes in my son already and can only hope that we continue to have the close relationship that we now share. It would be really hard to see my sweet boy become a moody and closed off young man. In the meantime I am doing my best to strengthen our bonds for these coming days.
