My Most Wonderful Cool Kid

I gotta say, as challenging as teenagers can be (and I'm learning all about it), I have the greatest kid. He's just the best.

You get so busy taking care of a baby (Maryam thinking of you!) and you barely get to raise your head up and look around and all of a sudden you have a teenager, full of fun, seriously opinionated, sometimes willing to do stuff around the house, quickly wronged, but fast to forgive, in other words, you suddenly realize, "I've got a real almost-fully-grown person here!" It's amazing.
