Amazingly, our boy turned sixteen today. For several days I have felt some pressure to do something amazing for this significant birthday. Brandt, however, has been fairly unconcerned about the whole thing. I have suggested he have a party, that we do something big, that we mark this day with something noteworthy. He's said no to pretty much everything. As a result, because I'm a working mom, I've let it go. So today, Brandt turned sixteen without much fanfare.
I got Brandt balloons and we laughed at all the ages he could be with a 1 and a 6 balloon; sixteen, nineteen, 61, 91. So old and so young! I made him French toast for breakfast, and we went out to dinner. We got him a couple of things, but even then, I was ill-prepared because I don't plan in advance very well. He did swimming in the pool in the afternoon and we planned a movie night for tomorrow. We are hoping he will get his driver's license soon.
