He really is a young man now

So we bought our older boys a toilet bag full of smellies, body wash, face wash etc for xmas and in DS12's I also put in a razor and shaving foam. He has a bit of a hairy (dark bum fluff) top lip and has been given a bit of jipp about it from some of his not so matured yet friends and friendly hassles from my brother. It is in fun and he knows this and has laughed along with them.
My brother asked why he needed a razor when he could probably shave it off with a spoon!:clap:
Anyway last night he asked his Dad to show him how to use his razor! :o Off they trotted to the bathroom and 10 minutes later emerged with a huge smile on his face and a smooth top lip.
My baby is a big boy now. I am so proud but also it is quite sad to think that 12 years has passed just like that.

Oh gosh, how adorable. I don't know how I'll go when my little lads grow up.

:hug: Those milestones can be bittersweet, can't they...

DS1 isn't shaving yet but he is certainly growing up, it just seemed to happen all of a sudden. And I think his older sister haas been grown-up for at least 8 or 9 years , lol.

Nawww thats gorgeous!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. DS14 started shaving last year and I felt the same, my first born is a young man.

:( What a special moment. A sad one aswell on your part...... Though one that im sure your DS will remember for the rest of his life. :)

Awww how gorgeous! Made me teary thinking I'll be the one posting the same sooner than I would like to.. time just flies...

Aww, I got all teary too! They grow up so quick don't they?

How gorgeous!! Such a dad and son moment. Sorry your little boy is growing up - he really is turning into a man.
