My lil ole big boy

I am sitting here this evening, getting a little bit nervous about having a chat with my son. He really is so much like me in every way. I feel that it is one of two things… either he is imitating me, or he is simply a younger version of me. Here we go…

He is growing and developing, but he is nervous to be outward (so everything is inward). What I mean by this is that he lives inside his head and creates his own heavens and hells (speculating here). I felt I had done the same thing myself growing up. I created better worlds in my head than the reality of the crappy ways people treat other people on this earth here, so I would imagine I was there, in my imagined daydreaming world.

So anyways, I felt it was not that I did not “get it”. If I was shown different things, then possibly I would have been more interactive. I realized this only over the past few years. So, I want to present the situation to my son, to go online and buy him a man’s grooming kit to hopefully spark an interest in taking better care of himself. I have a picture of him when he was 4 shaving with foam and a plastic razor. As well as videos of me shaving his peach fuzz at 5-6 with a real razor and calling him a man and he beamed ear to ear. My heart is full of an endless beat like a perpetual laser beam of love to him. He is my everything.

Since writing this we have both got the same Men’s grooming kit and with like 40-50 pieces I will need to learn some myself and we will go over this together.

He was the one the pressed the checkout button to know he was interested, and He is excited about sharing this together
