About a month ago it finally occurred to Dana that her little boy will be taller than her. Probably in a month from now, or less. Andrew will be 13 in two months from today. As with most 13 year old boys, he can eat a horse for dinner and then be hungry an hour later. He is growing and growing and growing. At his physical for summer camp last June, he was 4' 11 and 3/4". The doctor would've concede the last 1/4 inch. Now, there is no question. Dana measured him last month and he is between 5'5" and 5'6".
To me, it is the change in his body type, more muscular, less stringy and scrawny. His shoe size we t from 8 1/2 to 10 1/2. His favorite Boston Red Sox t-shirt doesn't fit any more. On the good news side, he is strong enough to start the lawn mower and help me move furniture. At least that is helpful, but I will still miss my little boy.
As someone told me long ago, "enjoy your children every day because they will. Never be that age again."
