Rites of Passage

There are things in a boy's life that are significant milestones. Noah was happy to achieve one just a month after his seventh birthday.

He was excited to be deemed able (being tall didn't hurt!) and mature.

He learned how to use the electric trimmer! He was so proud and it was fun to see his pride and excitement.

First, he got a tutorial on how it works.

 Then a demonstration.

 Then, finally, he got his hands on the trimmer!

 Noah is fun to work with because he whistles and sings while he works!

Noah has made significant strides this year in his maturity.  He is helpful, more thoughtful, and has more self-control.
