My first “baby” turns 7 on Friday. Seven! And while 7 is old (compared to the once little bitty baby) I find myself having to remind myself that he’s only 7. He’s smart, funny, and says things that are wise beyond his years and that sometimes leads me to have slightly unrealistic expectations for the guy.
