One of my favorite things about my son is why he likes the girls he likes... "Because she always listens to my ideas in class and when she teases me she is funny, not mean. And she's super smart. She knows Spanish and English." _____________________________________________ <em>Oh, exactly! It cracks me up to hear why he likes certain people. He told me recently, that he was hoping he would be like this kid he knows who is 14 when he turns 14. And when I asked why he said, "Well, I want to be as considerate as he is, and as mature." :D ~W</em> Time flies in good company… 12 years were like a minute.

That smile or should I say his " I'm pleased with me " look grabs my heart. He is so amazing but then it is no wonder with you for a Mom. Love the photos a visual reminder of just how quickly he is growing up. _____________________________________________ <em>Eleven is a wonder.
