    Unhappy 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!
    Anyway last night he asked his Dad to show him how to use his razor! 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.

    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.

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