16
Major Milestones
Posted in Bits and Pieces, Family, parentingSo I thought I was done with most of the big milestones in my son’s life. I still remember the first day Tyler laughed, those first steps, and his first big sentence. He was spitting on the ground, so I said “Ty-Ty, what are you doing?” and he answered “Ty-Ty spit just like Uncle Sebbie do it.” Oh, my brother was so busted that day!
That first day of school was also a great big one! Whether it was preschool, kindergarten, middle school, or high school, those first days all stand out in my mind. I know that later, there will be some other big milestones like graduation, college, marriage and grandkids, but I was thinking that was all down the road a bit.
My two mustangs when I was growing up!
Well, imagine my surprise when I took him last month to his first day of driver’s training. Wow! That was another big milestone and I was not expecting it! Practicing driving with Tyler has renewed my patience and understanding. I very lucky that he has also been a cautious kid, so we aren’t talking about massive speeding or screeching around any corners.
He also has shown an interest in my car that I had when I was 16. My dad gave me his ’64 ½ Mustang. It is a beautiful car and I had a great time driving it. But for now I think air bags, and shoulder seatbelts, AND seatbelts in the back are just a little more important than a teenage boy driving around a V8!
My point? Treasure all the milestones in your child’s life. It goes by so quickly!
