My eldest son became a Teenager on Dec 18th 2009, the BIG THIRTEEN..
My 2nd son will be 12 in June and my little man will be 10 in July.
It is sad how quickly they seem to grow up, but I must say I am really enjoying this stage.
I enjoy watching them discover themselves, it is wonderful. My eldest is at the stage where he tries to push the boundaries and I am giving him some lean way, but I will never tolerate him being disrespectful and at this stage he hasn't crossed that line, just pushing the limits, but I think that comes with finding who they are.
Shall what the years ahead hold for us LOL
