<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">i could complain about his big feet needing new size 8 sneakers and how his face is changing... and i could make a little fun of the crack in his voice</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">or i could mourn the little green "jackson" l.l. bean backpack being replaced with a new "teen-sized" l.l.bean backpack--<i>no monogramming, of course</i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">but i choose to be happy in the blessings that he comes home from school every day with a smile, telling me that "today was just a good day all around, mom."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">thankfully, we never had to endure the "terrible twos," and with much optimism, we see his teenage years bringing us as much joy as he always has brought to our lives... </span><br />
