Today was Boy's last ever day at college. He will be taking his exams in the next few weeks and is then off to university. My baby is all growed up.
His first school photo
Being all cute and innocent in Trinidad
Both of us hiding the incriminating cigarettes behind our backs. Yes, he was legal age
And more recently
The thing is I love him to bits for just being Boy. He makes me laugh. We like hanging out together. I'm not a traditional parent and he's an awesome son.
I haven't done the school run for years. He's always been incredibly independent-minded and wanted to take himself off to school as soon as he possibly could. Today, it was absolutely chucking it down and as it was his last day, it felt right.
I'm glad I did. He went off to college, I went and celebrated with coffee and cake at The Window and later on we shared a heated debate on Facebook with other people from across the water about tattoos.
My baby is all growed up and I iz very proud of him.
*proud mama smile*
Congrats to all concerned!
ReplyDeletePS: They definitely gave you the right baby at the hospital!
Yeah, his parentage is fairly obvious.
DeleteAnd thanks. I am going to stop going on about it....eventually.
It's all kicking off now...

It's scary how the time flies! Congratulations to Boy and hugs to you for doing such a great job in moulding such an awesome young man.
ReplyDeleteThank you honey.
DeleteI don't think I did much moulding. I suspect a lot of it was Boy surviving my parenting! :D
