Help.

At this very moment, my son is at a middle school dance.

He laid out his clothes last night.

He did his hair this morning.

Yesterday, he looked like this...
How did this happen?

I'm not too worried since he told me, "I see myself as a stand by the food line kind of guy". Somehow I think he'll be joined by all the other 6th grade boys.

I agree! How does this happen?? I keep telling my children all the time yesterday you were 1 or 3...and they smile, laugh at me, and say no mom I wasn't. Then they say- your mom let you grow up so you have to let me. Why is it that your children even think of this?? This crazy thing called parenting- really creative of our Lord!!!

Too funny. I was just thinking today that I can't believe that our older daughter has been home nearly 2 years already. Before I blink, she'll be at that 6th grade dance, too!

Your music is getting me excited for our referral. Baby Love is my ring tone for our referral and once we have our referral I am changing it to Ain't No Mountain High Enough!!! We must think a lot a like:)

PRECIOUS. And he still is a cutie! I have a feelin' that with his cuteness he may be at the food line but there will be lots of girls giggling as they walk up to get food too:). can't wait to hear how it went!

Ah, he's so cute! Isn't funny how one day they are three and the next thirteen?!

BTW, I didn't even know there was a dance. Last year, Tyler went to all of them and I haven't heard a thing about them this year. I guess I thought it was just a Goodrich deal. Guess not.

I cannot believe he was at a middle school dance. Are we really that old? I remember my middle school dances. I can't wait to hear how it went.

Seeing that picture reminds me of the scene from Father of the Bride when Steve Martin keeps seeing his daughter at age 6. "Dad, I met a man in Rome, and he's brilliant, and we're getting married!"
Hope the dance was great! Can't wait to hear about it! Middle schoolers are my FAVORITE age to teach :)
