Boy Turns 8, Mother Feels Old

Every. Single. Year. You feel older as a parent when your first born reaches their next number in age. Becket has reached the age of eight. The age of baptism. The age of adventure. The age of scouting. The age of responsibility. Is he ready? Yes. One word: SUPERPOWERS.

He's smart
He's a sponge for science facts
He knows what he wants and you can't convince him otherwise
He can self entertain and not self destruct
He's a protector (especially if little sisters need to cross the road or get too close to the edge of the cliff)
He's kind to small animals almost to a fault
He doesn't litter

If he can't survive in this treacherous world, which is unlikely, he'll call his back ups

As each child gets older, they will fight battles, together as one.  They are the Harrises and they have your back.



 

Happy birthday Becket!

We love you, Your Parents.
