Slices of life

My youngest son is growing like a weed

He is growing like a weed. But it’s a weed we cultivate, a weed we help grow. We will never pull him up by the roots or attempt to eradicate his existence. He is growing like a weed and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Although he’s the little brother, he’s always measured taller than the other two were at the same age on our makeshift growth chart in the kitchen behind the basement door where dozens of pencil lines are marked with names and dates, growing higher on the wall as the years have passed. It won’t be long before he surpasses the heights of his brothers, who have probably stopped growing.

He is growing like a weed. They all do, at this stage, at some point.

The same thing happened with our other two sons. One day they were

tender, green seedlings looking up into their mom’s eyes and then the surge of adolescence hit.

It seems like they go to bed as little boys and wake up taller and ganglier than the night before. Their arms and legs stretch out first, with the rest of their body catching up soon thereafter. Their calorie intake at this point seems infinite (because it is). Their feet look too big for their bodies. Voices deepen. They tower over their mom who now finds herself looking up at them.

And then, just as soon, this gangly awkwardness turns into the confident swagger that nature intended. Muscles fill in the previously lanky spots. Jawlines become chiseled. Shoulders widen. Boys become men. Girls, in their own set of changes, become women, and things like prom and dating loom on the horizon. Sigh.

I’ve been through this before; I know some things are as inevitable as him growing taller than me. He’s got his own ideas about the way the world works. Everything I do is embarrassing in his eyes. I’m ready for this and won’t feel the sting of hurt so much this time. I think. I hope.

Oh my goodness, though, he is my last. Our last. The great final crescendo to our parenting symphony. It brings tears to my eyes: ending this portion of our lives, even

though we are ready for the next.

Most days.

I can’t help but feel a lump in my throat, even when he is telling me I am embarrassing. Especially when he is telling me I am embarrassing.

Because I realize even this is a stage. Short-lived. Fleeting.

He is my baby. Always will be, although he’d probably deny it if asked now.

I told him the other day how happy I am we added him to our brood.

Four seemed like a lot. It is a lot and my husband and I talked long and hard before deciding to go for one last caboose. He was the result.

When I told him about my happiness regarding his being, he smiled and gave me a genuine hug.

“Thanks, Mom,” was all he said.

It was all he needed to say. Heck, the hug would have been sufficient

to make me grab for the Kleenex.

He is growing like a weed, at a speed we can’t comprehend. A metamorphosis is taking place before our eyes. He has ideas and goals for the future. I respect him for that, but it is another sign of his impending independence and eventual adulthood.

He is growing up and preparing to fly. We will blink and it will be over. Soon the growth spurts will be a thing of the past. He will tower over the rest of us. And if I’ve done this mom-thing right I will continue to look up to him – in more ways than one.

ing is easy.

This summer vacation I’ve also learned that I can cut my own hair nearly as good as many stylists can.

Trimming the back of my head (and shaving my neck) is a skillset I am newly proud of and will gladly put on my resume.

However, I doubt I will ever submit a resume again. Having the flexibility that I do is golden. Being my own boss is not always easy and in essence, I audition for every new client but the perks are worth any long hours because I get to set those hours.

What I’ve learned this summer vacation about driving is not really new, just a reminder. I love road tripping. Packing a bag and snacks and listening to tunes with my hubby is pure joy. I can drive for miles and miles and miles, but at this age decide it’s a good idea to stop every two hours to stretch. This summer I much prefer the scenic route to the interstate, unless of course it’s dark, raining, and the scenic route is a tight, curvy mountain highway.

I’ve discovered kombucha on tap is my new addiction and every flavor is delightfully yummy. I no longer drink soda but this sugar-tea stuff feeds my fizzy pleasure and I down a growler a day. Well, not quite, but close. (On tap is waaayyy better than what you buy in a bottle.)

Summer is not over and I want to learn more. I may not know the latest movies or television shows or pop acts, but I know like outdoor

I’ve learned that I am out of touch with what’s trending. (Gee, what a shocker.) I got a new phone (it was time to trade in the old Note 4) and played for a moment with ringtones. I didn’t know any of the “most popular” songs or artists.

And I don’t care.

But I do now know the difference between ringtone and ringback.

And I discovered I had a bank of ringtones saved to a wishlist default from several phones ago that had magically transferred with every phone update.

I also learned that I can be more patient than I ever thought possible. Having to visit the cell phone store on two consecutive days with the requisite waiting for them to do the paperwork and transfer my contacts and images not once but twice (I have over 2000 contacts and I have no idea how many photos) was a testament to how long I can sit without having a phone to fiddle with.

The second day visit was better than expected because the young customer service rep is an aspiring author (fantasy fiction is his bag) so we were able to make interesting conversation while the process lagged on. He was inspired to meet someone who works from home and makes a living playing with words. It made my day to make his day.

What else has happened this summer? Not only did I discover that I do indeed have a modicum of patience, I have also discovered that I am someone who no longer paints my own toenails.

Maybe it’s because I need my reading glasses to see how messy I’m being or maybe I just like the massage chair. Even if I don’t have time for a full pedicure, I will pay the ten bucks just to have a polish change. Summer time and the liv-
