My little boy is growing up. Colton had his Cotillion Year II Grand Ball tonight. It lasted four hours (5-course dinner, dancing and party games) and the parents were invited to come and dance with their child for the last 30 minutes. Dancing with Colton tonight, staring into his amazing blue eyes, I was reminded that they were the exact same blue eyes I gazed into almost 13 years ago - the day he was born. Even then, his eyes were huge and blue and beautiful... looking around at his surroundings, taking it all in. He didn't make much noise - a hint of what his personality would one day be... soft-spoken, sweet, laid-back, someone that sits back and takes it all in.
I wondered those many years ago, what Colton would be like when he was older: What he would look like, what his personality would be, his interests, his gifts? It's unbelievable to realize how fast these years have flown - and how I now have, standing in front of me, the young man I spent hours wondering about. A young man who loves God, music, football, all sports, his family and friends. A young man who is kind-hearted - and a good friend, brother and son.
What a blessing this child of God is... and how truly grateful I am that the Lord has allowed me the privilege of being his mother.
