He is my firstborn and I can still remember the day (almost 14 years ago - Where did the time go?) that we brought him home...
He is a very pretty guy (don't tell him I said that)...He has soft features and pretty is the only word to describe it.
He is very tall - Almost as tall as I am which is 5'10...
He is very very skinny - All legs and arms and no he damn sure didn't take after me LOL...
He gets good grades in school as you all know...
All his classes are advanced classes and he hates that I agree with the school on having him in them...
He has a couple of gender specific classes and hates that even more...
His room looks like a friggen bomb went off in there and he is very slow to clean it...
He is excellent with Tigger and any other children he comes in contact with...
He doesn't talk much (That is ok because Tigger more then makes up for it!)...
He tries to act tough then at times I see my little boy still in there...
He is more like me then I care to admit (scary I know)...
He stands out in class because he isn't like the other kids in there...
He isn't going to be the one wearing Khakis with the mechanical pencil in his shirt (Yes kids still do that haha) and his nice starched shirt tucked into his pants with a belt and nice laced up shoes...
Mine is the one wearing all black all the friggen time (We live in the Sunshine State - It is HOT here people!)...
Skin tight (so tight you can see the package - his friends do this to - looks painful to me) jeans, black shirt with some band on it I have never heard of and clunky skateboarding shoes that aren't tied...
He has been known to paint his nails black as well...
He also has long hair...
Let me rephrase that...
Long WHITE hair...
His hair is the color woman pay excellent money to get and it is all natural (Yes that he got from me - Whoo-Hoo)...Think the lightest blond you can imagine (not mine anymore cause I color mine all the time) and that would be his...
I have avoided allowing him to mess with his hair because in all reality it is such a pretty color and I am all about picking and choosing my battles however he has been begging me to let him color his hair jet black...
Now we are Casper white people (Me, him and Tigger) and with jet black hair I am sure he would look transparent plus I know all about coloring hair and how it can ruin it for good so I made a compromise sorta...
He asked for some black streaks and my dumb ass said ok...
I haven't seen him today since he was at a friends' house who was doing it for him and I am a little scared now lol...
Personally I really don't mind what I mind is the prejudging that I know people do when they see him however he is so self-confident and it doesn't bother him at all...
I realized I could learn a thing or 2 from him...
Once I see it I will let you all know - Maybe he will let me take a picture of it. (doubt it because I am that way as well)
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Be safe!!

He is so cute! Or Handsome is what you say for a 14 year old! I love the way you describe him...it really makes me want a son! Cant wait to hear how his hair turns out!
ReplyDeleteblack hair looks best with pale skin! :)
ReplyDeletei'm glad you let him do that. that "finding yourself" stage can be really tough when you can't express youself.
he is very handsome and sounds like a super great kid - messy room and all!
Oh, he is BEAUTIFUL!!! My hair used to be that color. Then I moved to Seattle and it has turned dark :(
ReplyDeleteI love that he is so... individual and knows what he likes.
