Growing Up

Hello Everyone:

Thank goodness I managed to get up and out early today because I had ample time to do everything I needed today.  Yay.  I still have a couple of things to do but they're pretty minor.  The youngest nephew is off for a few days until summer camp starts.  As usual, he's camped out on the sofa, wearing an even bigger dent in the cushion.  I told him to go outside for a bike ride, which he did until mum told him to come up for lunch.  Tomorrow, they're going miniature golf, well, actually he his and mum will just sit in some shady spot.  Fine by me.  I have some things to do like bake.  When he showed up this morning, for the first time I noticed he's almost a full person.  I mean he is a person but not a full adult-like person not the cute little boy anymore.  It's kind of strange to envision him as an adult because I still see him as this cute little boy.  Physically, he still has a baby face and emotionally he's an adolescent.  It sort of a disconnect for me because I want to treat him more like an adult but I still can't because he looks like a child.  Mum still treats him like her little baby.  She practically raised him.  Mum spent a lot of time with him after school and when my sister was ill so he's her little baby.  He enjoys the attention, being the youngest of three.  I don't blame him for feeling indulged.  However, he's not a child, he's slowly becoming an adult.
