My DASH! 15 yrs old -2015

I am blogging current time. I am still not caught up with the past three or so years of blogging the pictures from my phone or on my hard drive but slow and steady wins the race! 

Dash has NEVER allowed a photo session! They have ALWAYS been obligatory pictures with the family and one maybe two individuals for record! But, over the past 6 months he had mentioned that I NEVER take pictures of him and I replied, "YOU NEVER want to take any pictures" and YESTERDAY was the DAY!! 

It should be marked in the books up above! We've come a long way!

He felt uncomfortable and uneasy! He kept asking what do I do with my hands??

WHERE DO I PUT THEM! and let's be honest if a guy doesn't have his hands in his pockets or crossed or hanging, WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THEM??

I think he did so well and it wasn't too painful! 

There may have been a few drops of blood and one tear shed.

(We scared him and shoved him into this brick dungeon so he scraped his arms)

and the shedding of tears may have come because he was sooo over taking pictures but I pressed him more!

THEN THIS HAPPENED and he made me want to cry! I asked my sweet little boy to give me a "come here" or sexy look"! WHAT WAS I THINKING??? He's 15!! so of course, I GOT THIS INSTEAD??

                                    BLESS HIS  HEART FOR TRYING

He is an amazing young man! He surprises me everyday and I am always upset that I am surprised! I should know these things and mannerisms of him because he has always been this boy! They were just hidden by other qualities that spoke louder! Dash has always been a fighter! He was born premature and he has had to fight for every breath he needed. He had to fight against different odds medically and being the youngest of 4 with two girls before him; he had to fight to be him and not bossed by two little mothers! 

 He looks out for others. He is kind and he understands and knows the gospel. He will make comments that allow me to know he GETS IT and he is so much wiser beyond his years. He lives up to his the meaning of his Hawaiian name which means Spirit of Wisdom! and of course our last name being Solomon. He is wise and I pray he will always use his wisdom and intelligence wisely and for good.

With great power comes great responsibility! Remember the downfalls of King Solomon. He allowed his love for material things and women take precedence over his love for God! Keep your eye single to the Glory of God! I love you so much and you are an amazing son, who I am so proud of!  Love, MOM
