Today is AJ’s 17th birthday! It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago he came into this world. I keep asking myself how time is going so fast. Sometimes I just want to turn back to the clock and have my kids be little again. But, when they are little we are in such a hurry for them to grow up....to talk, walk and become independent. I guess that’s our job. If I’m being honest, I’m having a hard time with this whole letting go thing. I mean, I want to tell AJ what to wear and know what he’s doing at every moment. But, on the other hand, I want to make sure he’s ready and capable of living in this world on his own and that will be in the near future. So, I am really trying to give him his space and let him grow up. I am even letting him do his own laundry! That’s good of me huh? And he gets up on his own and drives to school by himself. He goes to work alone too! Oh, and he gets to pay for his own gas and insurance! That's pretty grown up don't you think? Seriously, I am really proud of the young man he’s becoming. At this point in his life, he’s starting to look at the future and not just right now. So, it’ll be exciting to see where life takes him over the next few years. So Happy Birthday AJ! We love you so much!
