Ten Year Old T&A

Ten Year Old T&A

I say 10, but he still has one more day of being my single digit, 9 year old baby. On January 2nd he will be turning one complete decade old.

Where did the time go?

Perhaps the final 9 year old ‘I could eat him up’ moment is from a conversation we had about an hour ago:

Today my son went sledding down our driveway. He fell off the sled, laid there, and announced “I’m okay! I just hurt my BUT-tocks”. Accent on the BUT, if you will. 

Eight hours later we hear someone in a movie say the exact same thing.  I laughed and reminded my son how he said those same words earlier in the day.

He says “No, mom. What I said was “I’m okay. I just hurt my bosoms”.

Me: “Um, baby? Only girls have bosoms”, while  I pointed to my own.

Silence.

Massive giggles and a red face: “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Yea, I said BUT-tocks”.

Love that boy.

Wishing YOU a very happy, new decade of your very own. And lots of love.

    Too funny! My 6 year-old son recently started getting all embarrassed when it comes to girls, so he would have run and hid in his room over that “bosom” business. Happy birthday to your son and Happy New Year to you all!

    It’s much more fun and sweet when they don’t know the difference. Once they get a little older, the perspective on those body parts shifts toward obsession (and they definitely know the difference).

    How funny! I agree that it’s totally a different humor attached to innocence, it’s not as cute when they are older.

    Happy New Year!

    My first “baby” turned 17 years old today. It’s funny in our neighborhood we have a Jan 1st, Jan 2nd and Jan 3rd birthday all in a row…literally, houses side by side. Your son is funny…red faced when he realized his mistake. Yes, remember these days.

    My son arrived home this morning after an all night New Year’s Eve party with half of both his eyebrows shaved off.
