This 14 year old has always been my BearJ and he is the sweetest,
kindest, smartest handsomest Bear anyone could ever hope for.
Today poor kid is in final semester exams on his
birthday! Yuck! Thank God they finish today. He has two friends coming over
afterschool to hang out and then a nice Italian restaurant tonight with our family-his
two friends and Didi. We are all craving the best pizza and pasta ever. Yummy. And gosh his friends are so nice-why does everyone say that teenage boys are disasters??? they are wonderful!
Last night was a bit chaotic in our home but his sister
made him homemade peanut butter cookies and brought one up to his room where he
was studying with a cold glass of milk. It was such an unexpected gesture and he was so happy. This morning candy poster with 14 packs of candies and 14
loonies and his basket of gifts. This year was all clothes mainly and money and
he was very happy with that. And American Eagle cologne-three types..he loved
that.
I am going to add up the two numbers of his bday (1+4=5)
and write the 5 things of this year that stick out for me about our 14 yrs old
boy.
1-He does not know how to keep a secret!!!!!!! I told him
and only him the most embarrassing thing ever about myself and he told my Hubby
who now wants to tell friends etc… BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2-The guy is crazy smart. I mean like crazy smart. As in
today he said it was the two easiest exams. Who considers Science and Math in
French private high school easy??? I was personally lost in grade one public English
school…
3-He is sooooo sporty! Now third semester in a row wins
prize of distinction in his sports program at school (you know the one that
barely let him into because he was having his ruptured appendix removed that
day) Nanny nanny pooo pppo to those silly people. Look at him now! Best athlete in all
categories and best all around team spirit is required and this kid has it.. Glad you took him??????
4-He is such a kind kind kind son. And just an all-around
loving person. And such a family guy. The other day at the table he said “that
his worst fear would not being able to have babies with his wife one day” (because
family and children is such an important
value to him) I adore this about him
5-That this year he has in many ways gotten his hot
temper under control for the most part!!! He now often says things like”I am
walking away from the situation” or “ I
will speak about this later when you and I are both calm” Yesterday when
I started almost yelling when he unplugged my alarm clock and it broke and my aggravation
started mounting….he decided to just walk out of the room. Works for me! He and
I are communicating and fighting more fairly the last year. Bonus.
We love this boy to bits..and if we could clone him and
give one of him away to everyone we would..but since we only have one of him we
are playing for keeps.
Happy 14th my darling!!
