HALF WAY THERE

Jake & I were talking this morning about his upcoming 9th birthday in January. He was talking about how soon he'll be a teenager (GOD) and about how when he's 10, he won't be 1 number anymore. Out of no where, he looked at me and said "When I turn 9, I'm half way to being a grown up". OUCH!! He's right, he'll be halfway to 18 years old! Where did the time go??? And why can't it slow down????
