Just Be U...


Sometimes out of the blue you realize your baby is growing up. Not because he is 8 inches taller than you or because he out weighs you by 35 lbs. But instead just by something he says.

For instance.....
When Brennnon was 6 just starting kindergarten he informed us pink was his favorite color, and he wanted PINK jelly shoes, with glitter! (you remember those?) Devon took no time at all informing Brennon he must be a girl because only girls like pink and not to tell anyone he was Devons brother because he was a big fat sissy! Luckily Brennon didn't care what Devon thought and got those shoes. (mom designated them "play shoes" that didn't get worn to school).
Fast Forward 7 years........


Colby: Devon is there boy cheerleaders?
Devon: Yea
Colby: Wheww that's good because that's what I'm going to be.
(mom holding her breath waiting for the response)
Devon: Cool, I think you would be really good.
(lets see...very loud likes to jump and flip, I think we found his calling!)

Moms 1st emotion.. Relief
Moms 2nd emotion.. Pride

Sometimes you realize you have a pretty good kid (for a teenager)
and maybe, just maybe they have listened and learned that it is important for everyone to....
Just Be U!
