Eighteen
Eighteen years ago today he was brand new: 6lbs4oz, mostly spindly legs and big feet. Now look at him - he's all grown up! 6 feet and a bit! (We haven't measured for a while.)
To paraphrase Mrs T, we have become the mother of an adult. :-)
I was 20 years old, I really didn't have a clue about parenting. I thought he'd be lucky to make it through his first year! But he was resilient and I learned and now his childhood is officially over - though he's been a man for years, of course.
I'm very proud of him: he's everything a mother could wish for. It's been a privilege to bring him up and we wish him the very best for his adulthood :-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!

Happy Birthday to Tom and well done to you for getting him there with all his bits still attached, in relatively sane condition and without the aid of artificial stimulants :)
