Today (well technically yesterday, seeing as it is now 1:09 am) my son turned ten. It truly hasn't hit me yet, but it will. I have had a child for 10 years and I haven't ruined him yet. He is a compassionate, smart, funny child. *** So...The power went out as I was trying to write this entry. So I can't really recall where my flow was going. But I'm still totally freaked out that my child has turned 10. I think about the fact that time has sped by and in that amount of time he will be 20. That's an adult...But I'm going to stop thinking about that and enjoy my wonderful 10 year old. Today his teacher called and said Jaris once again was selected as the "terrific kid" in his class. I am so proud of him I could burst. Happy Birthday Jaris...This is only the beginning of your successes.
