Just Do It

Yep that is what I am fighting at the moment.  We stood back to back yesterday morning and Ali is now the exact same height as me.  As I am typing this he has probably even passed me.  I guess the days of me calling him "Shorty" are very numbered!  My goodness, this kid is only 13 and at 5feet 5.5inches I am not that short! 

Whoever gave this kid permission to grow up so fast!!  It doesn't seem that long ago that he was a helpless little blob that liked to snuggle and keep me up at night.  Now he can do just about everything and gives me lots of cheek!  So long as I don't try to give him a kiss he will even still give really good cuddles.  He really is growing into a really nice, helpful young man.  I guess I don't really mind that he is as tall as me!
