every year..its the same….

Every year, I think…

this seems crazy...he can't be turning ____ (insert age here).

This year is no exception.

Tomorrow, our "baby boy" has another birthday.

And I am thinking…He can't be turning 11.

He amazes me with his wise words, he always has.

His latest wisdom came in an apology note I made him write to his teachers,

after he and a friend got into an ugly argument.

He said…

"I think I learned my lesson…some challenges are like broken mirrors.

It's better to ask for help than to risk hurting yourself trying to fix it alone".

In some ways, I can't believe he is only 11.

Thank you, Jack, for surprising us everyday.

For being our first baby.

For being Molly's big brother.
