My child, Shef, is getting older. It's stunning. If we stand side-by-side, the top of his head is even with my cheek bone. And he's funny - quick with the witticism or sarcastic come-back. He makes his own plans and asks for rides to places.
Last night, he dressed up for dinner out. When we got home, I noticed him leaning against the counter in the kitchen, casually scrolling through Instagram, his collared shirt tucked into slim black trousers, and I was just struck by his good looks. Total moment of maternal pride.
"Shef!" I said, beaming. "You're so handsome!"
"Yeah," he said, smiling. "I know."
It seems that in addition all of this other fabulous traits, kid has a healthy dose of confidence. I suppose I'm glad.
That's a lovely moment of recognition that he is becoming a young man....and a very handsome one too! There will be others...treasure then! Love, mom
ReplyDeleteI kind of wanted a pix of him leaning against the counter even though I could picture it in my mind.
