Today is my oldest sons 11th birthday! I am amazed at how fast the years go by, although I definitely feel myself aging:) He has decided this year that he is too old for a birthday party and opted to go swimming with a few friends, something they normally do 2 or 3 times a week, and have cake at our house afterwards. Since we have moved to town, two years ago, he has taken to skateboarding and now we are shopping for a real skateboard. He has had the same one for two years and is venturing into the type you can upgrade and change pieces on. This is all new to me, so I am learning as we go. I did learn the other day that skateboarding is NOT for Mom. I tried and even holding on to my son and husband could not manage to go in a straight line. My son did advise that flip flops are not real good footwear for skateboarding. I thought flip flops were designed for any activity. While on a company trip with my husband, I wore flip flops golfing, in the rain. My footwear was as about as good as my golf game:)
Since it is my sons birthday I must take a minute to be a proud Mom and tell you what a great kid he is. My husband works away alot and he has stepped up and is my biggest helper. I am really not sure if I could manage some days without his help! He has been delivery newspapers for a year now and is not scared to work. In fact he is looking forward to getting a real after school job as soon as he is old enough. He does well in school and regularly finishes his school work ahead of the rest of the class, leading to his teachers only complaint-he's a talker:) He hangs around with a good group of friends and so far has never managed to get himself into to much trouble, although I am sure the day will come.
Today I am offering 20% off all purchases in my shop to celebrate his birthday. Just mention "Birthday" in notes upon checkout and I will send a revised invoice.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAKOTA!!!!!!!
