Happy 16th Birthday to My Grandson

Today I am the grandmother of a 16-year old. Wow. In my mind I am not old enough to have a grandchild that old....heck, in my mind I'm not even old enough to have kids. lol Of course in reality I am, and I do love my grandkids very much and am so glad they are in my life. Especially since Nicole said she was never ever ever having kids so I'd better hope that Beau had some. (I don't see that happening, but I can always wish for it to happen.) But it is interesting as I have never been all that crazy about kids in general and when Nicole was pregnant, I (and Nicole too) wasn't sure how great of a grandma I was going to be. But come to find out, a really good one, if I do say so myself.

But then too Sean Michael has made it pretty easy for us, as he has always been a pretty laid back kid. Of course, how could you not love this adorable little face:

(Ok, so maybe his little sister isn't looking quite so adorable at that moment, but normally she is too.)

And now he's morphed in this:

His hair is a little (a lot) longer, and it isn't as straight as it used to be, and he's taller, and he's now old enough to drive (funnily enough, he doesn't even seem all that into driving, which is so different than when I was 16 and couldn't wait to get behind the wheel) but I still see that same three year old little boy with those bright blue eyes that everyone commented on and I smile, thinking of what a sweetie he was then, and what a sweetie he is now. He isn't perfect, but he is my pride and joy and I am very proud to call him my grandson.

So Happy 16th Birthday Sean Michael. I love you very much. :-)
