It’s my “baby” boy’s 18th birthday today. He’s turning out to be a great young man! From the ages of 4 -14 he excelled in sports. Track, soccer, hockey, volleyball and basketball. When everyone else started to grow, and he didn’t, he got a pretty bad back injury, and retired from competitive sports. Now he snowboards and works out at the gym to keep fit. As a high school student, he excelled in Drama, collected the provincial title for Best Supporting Actor, and the High School award for Drama Student of the year in grade 12. Now he’s going to tech school, and doing very well in Carpentry school, making his mother lots of wonderful things, and working part time.

Tonight my “baby” is getting taken to the bar to watch the strippers, because he’s finally old enough to go to the bar with all his friends, who’ve been going for months!!! This truly is my proudest moment as a mother! Pffffft

Anyways, Happy Birthday Ben!
