My Amazon son. Gosh, it gives me a neck ache to gaze up apon him. lol He is a hair under 6'. Literally just a hair. Well, that was 5 weeks ago, he could be over that mark now. His shoe size is 11.5. He weighs in between 143-150 depending on how much he has eaten that day. Very lean.
He is LOVING football. Practice is 5 days a week. 6:30-9, but I am promised it will only go to 8:30 now that school is in session, we will see. He plays a game on Saturdays at approx 6pm. He is the 7th team to play, so if there are any delays, his game gets pushed back. If it is pushed back too far we get a midweek game to make it up. This makes for very long Saturday nights. (esp for mom who has to entertain Jack and while attempting to watch the entire game, Chris only gets every other Sat off). Ri plays both offence and defence this year. I missed a big play yesterday when Jack was being difficult. Oops, bad mom. More about that on Friday after I have the paper to copy from. :)
He is non stop busy. Friday nights are ice skating nights {11$}. The rink is seconds from the apt but who is gonna let their son walk thru the field where alligators live in the canal/pond after dark. Not this mom! Thankfully he has tons of friends and one of their parents brings him home. I HATE dragging his brothers out at 12:30am for a 10 minute round trip car ride, not to mention 3 flights of stairs for sound asleep kids. Everyone treats him like he is older because he is so tall. I have to remind everyone is is only 13! He has discovered the bus system. He and his friends are at the mall right now. Btwn him and Cam we go thru gobs of quarters for bus rides. (bus is 60 cents each way for under 18, still less than gas for me however)
He starts 8th grade tomorrow. I am sure there will be even more girls calling than normal. There will be more guys at the door for hanging out. Afternoons at the pool. (I didn't mention how TAN he is!) Sundays at the mall. And let us not forget his phone that is attatched to him 24-7! Let round 2 of the teenage years begin now!
