Tender Moments

The joys of being a mother. Dad and son in front of the bathroom mirror. Dad teaching oldest son how to shave. These are the days when your heart just melts at over hearing the conversation. (sigh) I had to resist getting the camera out and documenting this right of passage to manhood.

Then as I sat there and reflected on how big my 15 year old really was. He's not only physically getting bigger, but also emotionally. It seems like he'll be going to college way too soon and I'm just not ready for that.

Just as I was having my moment it was cut short. My honor student comes out of the bathroom with a kleenex attached to his face. He has just shaved his unibrow and has cut his nose. He didn't realize he wasn't supposed to shave it.

I guess he still does need his mom after all.
