{Double Digits}

I can't believe my lil Bash is in double digits! It seems like only yesterday he was small enough to rock to sleep, now he's almost taller than me and growing like a weed. He's growing his hair out and constantly pointing out to his dad and I how much "peach fuzz" he has. John told him last year if he rubbed around his mouth in a circular motion (similar to when a man looks in the mirror and is tracing his facial hair ) that his mustache would grow really fast. It was a dirty trick, but super funny to watch him in the car rubbing around his mouth and asking every hour if we noticed anything.
He is a remarkable kid and I'm grateful for the young man he is developing into.

Happy 10th Birthday

I made him bust through this when he got home from school
Great-grandpa Ririe sent him this to start his mission fund (Let's hope they call him) When asked what he wanted to eat for his bday, yep, SUSHI.
