so bright... so increasingly mature... so loving... so witty... so talented... so self-confident... so helpful... so strong...

growing more and more each day, by leaps and bounds, it seems... my oldest boy, cooper

not yet taller than me... but he is gaining on me
(he reminds me of that all the time :)

his feet are twice the size of mine... his shoulders, broader than mine

but his attitude oozes with a playful sassiness,
just like mine

his sense of humor is borderline crass and crude,
just like mine

and in the sunshine,
I can see strawberry blonde in his hair

god, I love my teenager...

xoxo,
