15 trips completed
This afternoon marks the end of DS2’s 15th trip around this old sun of ours. 15 times I’ve watched the seasons change with him.
He’s at that gangley goofy puppy-man stage where he and his friends’ voices are changed or changing but they still talk and giggle all night at fart jokes (and probably sex jokes) and give/take away "cool" points based on their behavior and the dorky way they act toward one another.
Friday night they ate like teenagers, and when the girls left at 10 or 11 and then they set up the air mattresses and blankets like adults but when I came down in the morning, they were sprawled all over the room like little boys. 6′3" little boys in some cases, but still, all warm and cuddly and curled up with their pillows like when DS2 was a toddler.
He’s had a growth spurt in the last couple of weeks and is now taller than I am.
Have a happy birthday, DS2 and let’s make this next trip around the sun the best so far.

Happy birthday, DS2. It is funny how close our kids are in age.
It sounds like he had a fun party.

I’m sure he still looks up to you even though you look up to him.

Your baby is 15! Isn’t it cool to watch them sleeping? It really is the easiest way to remember them as babies.
