where does the time go??

My 16 year old son got his first job!!! He started Sunday. he is working at a little Beef place making fries, mozz sticks, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. I can't believe he is old enough to start getting a paycheck!! It is so exciting yet scary to see him being so grown up. He will be getting his drivers license this year also. My mom said to me last night. "everything changes once they start driving. they suddenly are an adult and dont need you for everything". wow!!!

Mines only three an I'm dreading that whole growin up thin, it drives me nuts how old an independant she has become an she's only 3! I asked er the other day if she wouldn't mind stop growin up for a bit an she told me matter of factly that she would be unable to fulfill my request LOL

LOL..3 yr olds are so cute! i have a 3 yr old niece and she is like a little old lady!! she says the cutest things. My dad was babysitting her and she had to go potty. He brought her into the bathroom thinking she might need help since she is fairly newly potty-trained. She put her hands on her hips, looked up at my dad and said "I would please like some privacy now Grandpa."...lol my dad felt kinda silly and walked out of the bathroom.

I can really relate to this. I have a recently turned 16 year old who put in her first job application last night. Sometimes it seems incomprehensible that I have such a mature young lady for a child. You are so very right...

There with ya. My oldest turns 18 in two months. I remember his birth as if it were yesterday. Oh, the things we've been through. And now he will be a legal adult.
We have 6 children, and even though the youngest is 4, and we are not able to have any more children naturally, I miss the development stages of the early years.
God bless you in your parenting.

Peace.

My son's 5. I'm blessed that I have several fun cars to drive around right now. The way I see it, I've got another 10 years to enjoy them before I trade them in for a mini-van or something more pedestrian by the time he gets his license!

yes time flys....it will really seem strange to you when your son refers to himself as a man(they will always be our babies)oh and when they leave.....empty nest syndrome......
