When did this happen

My baby is growing up. I mean I knew it was inevitable BUT, WHEN exactly do they take that plunge and just do it. Like they just couldn't ease into it. I woke up one day and there was this kid in my baby's bed. I like this kid just fine but WHERE did my baby go?

I really like this kid come to think of it. He reminds me a lot of my baby so I am okay with him staying around. Actually I LOVE him. He is a precious little boy and loves like none other. He is so polite and enjoys learning.

Yesterday at dinner after grace was said, Bear looks at us and says, "Thank you Mommy, Thank you Daddy". You, my wonderful son, are so very welcome!

I sure hope he tells me when he is ready for college! I would be very sad to wake up tomorrow to find a grown man where my baby boy once slept.
