If I were counting, this one would number somewhere in the billions, no doubt--as all parents will recognize & understand. My eldest is now an adult (age 21). Does that somehow free me from responsibility for him? Of course not--he's still my son & even when he's 50 he'll be my baby. ;) However, it's satisfying to know he's come through the toddler & school years more or less unscathed. He isn't far from completing his undergraduate studies (within 18 months, hopefully sooner depending on when required courses for his major are offered).
I've heard it before, but it bears repeating: Parenthood is the only job you work your way out of, at least ideally!
Happy birthday L!
