DP is growing out of all his clothes. A major growth spurt! We bought jeans that last year were a bit large, but this year fit perfectly. The shirts that fit last year are way up the wrist this year! Okay, here's the thing: When I was raising girls, they grew just a bit slower (if memory serves), but this man-child is beyond belief. At least over the summer he could wear shorts and no one knew the difference, but with cooler weather setting in we are looking at a whole new ball game.
Grampa Dave sent him a new watch and the child slept with it. I had to remind him to take it off before cleaning up this morning. He was so surprised when it arrived and was on his cell phone texting everyone with the news. This morning he kept looking at it to be sure to leave the house on time. Never mind we have clocks in every room of the house!
I was, at first concerned Grampa may have gone a bit overboard with the bling, but he assured me hadn't. As Grampa Dave said: "Kids don't need expensive stuff, just stuff that works." Yep, we have definitely been there!
DP is around women most of the time, so I enrolled him in Big Brothers Big Sisters and encourage him to keep in contact with his big brother, which he does as often as possible (thank goodness for texting). And it is really good to see him developing a relationship with his grandfather, another male role model in his life.
Thank you, Grampa Dave, for the watch...and the reminder!
