Yep ... my little boy is now a teenager. It seems completely unreal. I mean, it doesn't surprise me that in a few months Hannah will be 17. THAT, I can handle. But wow ... my little Eli ... is losing his innocence. Well, perhaps that's overstepping it a bit. He is still VERY innocent, but now he is ever closer to becoming ... a brat. UGH.
His birthday was just as he likes it ... uneventful and nearly unmarked. We didn't have a cake ... we had Skittles. We didn't wrap presents ... he opened them as they arrived in the mail. He wanted four DVD's: "The Day After Tomorrow" ... "School of Rock" ... "Wayne's World II" ... and "2007 World Series - Red Sox v. Rockies." With Skittles and DVD's in hand, he was on top of the world.
I am thankful that his birthday fell on spring break. Otherwise, his teachers might make mention that it was his birthday ... and that would send him under the table. It makes no difference how much I tell them NOT to bring attention to him ... they do it anyway. I am considering getting a t-shirt designed to read: PLEASE IGNORE ME. I DO NOT LIKE TO BE NOTICED. Thanks, my mom :)
Anway .. it will only be a little while before Ron will have to teach Eli how to shave. The boy is sprouting hair like nobody's business :-)
