Hard to believe I was blogging about how cool it was to watch scary movies with my 16 year old just a few years ago, and now I have a 21 year old that bought his 1st drink at a casino! It's bittersweet. I get a text from his father saying: can you believe our baby turned 21 today? Yeah dude, allot has happened. I'm a proud mama. I have different ideals than when he was growing up and school aged. I always brought him up to be free thinking and eclectic in his style of dress and music, but I was strict and very religious in our values and morals. Not a bad thing, but I was definitely a bit of an extremist. My son refused to be homeschooled. I think ultimately, I was a bit more pushy with the public schools he attended. I definitely made my presence known, and he only had a small handful of teachers that I felt failed to foster creativity. He and I were blessed with those individuals that cared for education and providing creative outlets for him. I'm thankful for that :) Happy birthday my baby....mama is proud of you and I love you even more!
