Boys

Father and Son

Jared get's his love of fishing from his Papa Jim.

How do you reassure a young man that he will eventually grow? My son so want's to be that "macho man." Well we have had to resort to x-rays and blood work to hopefully set his mind at ease. I wish his school had a wrestling team so he can get out some of his frustrations. (Any memories Tracy?) He turns 13 in July and weighs only 77 lbs. In his chorus concert in the fall he asked his teacher to allow him to stand on the top riser and she agreed, however she put the tallest boy in the class next to him. Jared came up to his belly button. Jared is well aware of the law of 8 or 80 lbs when it comes to carseats.

His mother's day gift to me was agreeing to get his hair cut. The aftermath was ugly as far as his emotional state goes. I think the haircut looks handsome but he did not agree. (The fishing pic was taken about 2 weeks prior.) I think the hair is the one thing that he feels that he can control as it makes him feel older and look more mature.
