Black and White Wednesday: Growin' Up

WonderBoy insists on mimicking every teenage boy he runs across.
He bumped into his cousin's prom date the other day and he's been walking and talking just like him...and, oh, that sideways hat!

WonderBoy doesn't realize he doesn't need gimmicks or stuff to maintain his current status of cutest boy on the block...he just has to look inward.

Though not that easy to live with these Tween days...I adore every ounce of him and empathize with the new feelings and emotions that come with growin' up.

  1. Oh boy...I seem to recall going through the same angst. And I had to just get through it - listened to nobody.

    And I get little hints of history repeating itself already (and she's SEVEN and a HALF!!)

    Love this shot sweetie. Despite the sideways hat - he's looking an awful lot like a .....cough...sputter...man. (Is that fasten your seatbelt sign flashing yet?)

    Love you Sweetie. Miss you too!

  2. Great shot! My son went through a sideways hat period a few years back and now he's all about wearing his hood up. Ahhhh teens!

  4. Wow is he really looking grown up in this shot. Scares me to death just thinking about my sweet girl at this age. I'm taking a deep breathe right now!

    BTW... love the name of your photography business. I'm still trying to come up with something good. Never thought it would be this challenging. :-)

  5. Love it!!! WB looks very much the teenager here!! And I so get the "prom date" reference! He does looks exactly like him with the hat! But that's ok, because "Prom Date" was a cutie patootie too! Even though you and I know that all WB has to do is be himself, it's going to take him awhile for him to finally figure that out. Heck!! I'm in my 20's and sometimes, I still want to fit in with the "cool kids". Welcome to the Teen Years, baby!!

    He is so handsome!! Love the sideways cap~

    Sorry I am bailing on you tomorrow....maybe Saturday!

  10. I love the sideways hat! He looks adorable, but of course being a tween he probably doesn't want to hear that. You speak of the Yin and the Yang of having a tween so eloquently I hope to do the same some day.
    Happy Wednesday.
