Well, kid, you’ve got me kind of scared. Is this what I have to look forward to in a mere eight years? I’m glad to hear that it’s a symbolic gesture, though. We don’t need them growing up too fast.
Is it too early to have a discussion with him on how to treat the beautiful women in his life? Do dads have this talk with their sons? They should. I think it’s the perfect opportunity to tell him he should always treat the girls in his life with the gentle kindness and respect they deserve. Love them for who they are and love who they might become. Oh my, I’ve jumped on my soapbox, haven’t I? This is probably too much for an almost 10-year old. Then again, it would be simply reinforcing what I think he’s already learning each day from his cool dad :). Teaching by example, right?
Good luck, kid, and enjoy the thunderstorms while you can.
Take care,
All Done
