He's 9

NINE!

Where did the time go?

When my daughter turned 9 she was sad. She did not want to be 2 numbers. She did not want to grow up.

She used to tell me she was never going to leave me and she was always going to love me.

She is 20 now.

She left me

I am not ready for the teenager years.

I am going to relish the last of the single digits.

To celebrate such a milestone we rented out all of Bogan Park Aquatic Center.

Who says you can't have a pool party in January!

My son loves toys I mean he really loves toys.

He is like Andy from Toy Story. They are all well loved, overplayed with and he comes up with the most imaginative stories.

I like to secretly listen to him make all his "guys" talk and fight.

I will miss these days. I mean look at the excitement in that kids face!

So for now I will enjoy every minute of the last of the single digits.
