The other night I went to a scout meeting for parents with boys who will be turning 11yrs. old by the end of the summer.
It was to inform us of what to expect and all the camping trips they will go on.
They started talking about overnighters and not just that they need certain equipments, but that my little boy will also have to carry said equipment. There will be NO MOTHERS there to help them! Have they seen Tyler? He's only 80ish lbs. I can see his ribs!I realized my boy is growing up and we're no longer in the minor league.
That's okay, I've always been excited for my kids to get a little older. Of course there are times when I'm nostalgic and wish them to be younger, but for the most part I'm okay with them growing.
Then....
I went through the summer clothes Tyler used to wear when he was 4/5 to pull out for Patch. It doesn't seem that long ago as I look at some of them. I swear I just bought most of them, are we sure he can't fit in them anymore? Man he's getting big!
Not only that, but...
We went shoe shopping today. Tyler's feet have grown fairly slowly, but I expected that because Chris has small feet so I figured Tyler would/could also.
He's in a size 4.
No wait, he's in a size 7!
A seven! Do you realize that my feet are a size 8 1/2 in woman's? That means Tyler is now in a larger size shoe than his mother!!
When did he get so big?

First of all, will you let me know what they have planned for 11-yr-old scouts because I'd like to "peek" in on that..
And... I'm absolutely floored that Drew was a size 4 this year but a size 7! There's gonna be good height on that boy!
We haven't had this meeting yet, but OMG, have you seen Ben??? He's skinnier and bonier than Tyler!!
p.s. He's also been in a size 7 for the last year or so. I'm thinking he'll be a 9 or 10 next time we can afford shoes!
Tell me about it. Bryson is a size 9 mens.
ugh. These boys keep growing too fast!
And don't get me started on scouts. Still so not into it!
Tyler is awsome!!! I can't believe he is almost 11! That can't be right.
