sweet 16.
my sweet 9 lbs 4 ounces and 1foot 10 inches long baby is now a beautiful 130 lbs and 6 feet tall teen... time is flying by and i feel the need to hold on tight.
when he was younger and would tell me, 'mama will you marry me', i'd just melt! while he no longer wants to marry me, the best part of motherhood is the love of my boy and the overwhelming and total love i have for him.
the hardest part of motherhood, fear, it's always inside you. i can just hope that i am giving him the confidence, independence, and respect for himself. it's not always easy, but it's the most rewarding thing in life.
i love hanging out with him, going to the cinema or a gallery, travelling, playing board games/cards or just sitting on the sofa watching money heist. although i can be annoying about it, maybe even needy, i think the key to our relationship is acceptance, laughter and self-reflection.
he has my stubbornness (not always a good thing), empathy, and relaxed way of being. i love his sense of humor, his perfect nose, listening to him eat an apple.
here are some photos...
waking up on his birthday the swedish way, which i love, with breakfast (donuts!), presents, and singing. we threw in some balloons too. such a special traditon.

| gifts from his girlfriend :) |
he requested a small 'party' with two of his best friends. there was a very chocolatey caramel layered cake, a delish lasagna and plenty of hanging out, gaming and making music.
