He's Still Here

Yes, I have noticed that lately there have been many photos of son #2 and almost none (unless you spot him in the background somewhere) of son #1.

There is a simple explanation for this: ADOLESCENCE. Someone told us recently that adolescence now lasts from age 10 to age 24. Great.

My sweet little baby whose face graces about 90% of the photos I've taken in the last 10 years, is now annoyed and inconvenienced when I want to get a picture of him. Plus, he is very into pre-adolescent privacy needs, so his activities are "secret" and not something he wants on film, much less the internet.

So, since a parent's job is sometimes to push her child's limits, I followed him around after school and recorded some moments in his life. I told him I HAD to because the grandmas are getting nervous that his face hasn't appeared on the blog for a while. I told him they're starting to think I got him his own apartment. His eyes lit up. Hmmm...

Anyway, here he is, grandmas. Alive and well and chewing through books like nobody's business.

Starting to lose my picture-taking privileges:
