Eleven years old.
Let's see....in a year he will be a Deacon and able to pass the Sacrament at church.
In three years he can go to church dances....which he won't ever step a foot in.
In five years he can officially "date."....which he won't want any part of.... probably...hopefully.
In seven years he will be a legal adult, able to vote and able to serve a full-time mission for our church after he graduates. Yes...I am banking on a high school graduation.
It all doesn't seem that far away. I wish (sometimes) I could just tell the boy to stop growing physically...and not to grow up. He is my "Peter Pan" still....so the "growing up" thing isn't as big of a problem as I wish it was. :) Mama still needs to remind him to zip up his pants each morning and he asks me to tie his shoelaces. (He is gonna die when he reads this one day) Hahaha.
Nevertheless, the boy is growing physically. He weighs in at 112 pounds and is 62 inches tall. The last pair of tennis shoes we purchased were a men's 11. The church pants I bought last week were a 16 husky. There is nothing husky about him.... I think. He is just a tall, lanky thing. :)
Bubba is our sweet, sweet boy. At least that is what others tell us. I am not sure his brother would agree with this declaration.:) His 5th grade teacher this year is amazing and she texts me from time time to tell me wonderful, thoughtful things he has done for others at school. Those messages are nice to pop-up on my phone during a hectic day at work! It really makes me feel good. In February she sent me a text, telling me that the music teacher told her that in his 22 years of teaching, Bubba is one of the kindest kids he has ever met. We are very proud of Bubba and the example he sets when he steps out of our home and we hope he continues down that path.
