William the Teenager

 

Perhaps it took me four extra months to make this post because I wanted time to slow down.

My William is a teenager.

And such an amazing one.

I love this kid.

On his birthday, I still had about 1/4 inch on him, but he has already passed me by.

William started school at Booth Middle for 8th grade this year. He had to miss the first 7 days due to Covid, but he caught right up and is enjoying his public school experience. He is playing percussion with band and enjoyed playing with the high-school marching band last week. The rest of the kids sure miss him! But they welcome him home quickly with tackle hugs.

William loves listening to his music and chatting with friends. He is helpful (you just have to ask), positive, friendly, and... he makes me laugh all the time. There is just this way about him that cracks me up, and I love it. :)

He enjoys getting to stay up a bit later to watch Fresh Prince or a movie with Justin and me.
