One-on-One with Neal

Today I had some errands to run, and Neal had his 12 year well check, so he and I got to have a Mommie-Neal day. It was fantastic. We ran my errands then browsed some stores and had lunch at Stevie B's. We shared lots of laughs and I was reminded at how quickly they grow up, how close he is to being an adult. I swear he's 12 going on 35 some times. At his wellcheck he was 57 inches, and a mere 77lbs...which puts him in like the 15th percentile for weight. Skinny dude, definatley not his momma's genes there. The demographics for this wellcheck asked about eating habits and grades and behavior, and as I was answering I realized just how super of a kid he is. He really doesn't give me much trouble past fighting with his brothers. And he's never sick, he had not been to the doctor since his last wellcheck just over a year ago. Anyway, I know some day he's going to grow up and move out and leave me behind, I just hope his future wife likes me, so she doesn't take him too far away.
