Milestones

Well, this makes my 200th post!! What a milestone (no, not really just a good lead-in to this post). We reached a milestone last night at our house. I know Wooten is 13 (14 in November). I know that his voice has changed (I am reminded every time I ask him a question and a man's voice answers).

But, last night takes the cake. I do not know what part of reality stung the most. The fact that he told me that his favorite actor in "Transformers" is Megan Fox. From the picture below (which I might add was one of the more family friendly pictures I could find of her) you can tell her acting talents are probably not what appeals to him. Yikes!!
Then there's the other part of reality. The fact that my telephone rang at 11:45 last night. I did not answer, but caller ID revealed that the caller was a young lady calling to speak to my boy. Again, YIKES!!!

Now there is the question the man voice asks, "Mom, do I call her back even though she didn't leave a message?" Do I respond as a Mom ("No, you don't call her back she called at almost 12 o'clock at night") or as a former young lady ("I'm sure it would make her day to receive that call")?

In reality, the time of the call really does not bother me. It's just the fact that she is calling at all. But, who can blame her - what a catch he is!?!?

  2. Oh my, Wooten is really growing up!!! Amanda, you will live throught this time. If I survived Bennett and Brad growing up, I know you can. Just wait until the girls are outside his window at 11:45 PM. Just think, in about two years it will be the boys after Anna Graces. Embrace and enjoy this time in their lives. Believe me, it will go by fast. Wooten, it sounds like this one may be a night owl. I love watching all of you grow up.
    Just think Amanda, it won't be long before Christian will be chasing girls instead of baseballs.
    Love you all.

  3. Wooten, what can I say except that I'm not one bit surprised! I mean take a look in the mirror and see that handsome face staring back. I don't mean just beauty but also a handsome soul to go with the face! I love you Wooten and you have made me and Papa very proud! You are a fine young man and I'm proud to be your Mema!
    Amanda, this is just the beginning so hold on tight and enjoy the ride!!!
    Love,
    Betty (Mema)
