COLUMN WARNING: Mom Bragging Ahead! By HOPE E. TREMBLAY Editor My son turns 12 this week. I really can’t believe it. He is just one year away from being a teenager and I have noticed over the past year (since we are home together and I have more time to observe such things) that he has become a typical teen boy in many ways. Suddenly, he is wearing shorts with hoodies and crew socks regularly. He also cares more about his hoodies, but while he doesn’t care which brand is written on it, he does care that there is a brand and that it’s soft and cozy. He prefers YouTube to cable and he has recently discovered that he enjoys working out. My son has always been very smart. He taught himself to read at age three. I mean, my husband and I and my aunt who was his “nanny,” read to him multiple times a day from birth and he knew the alphabet at 18 months-old, but as far as trying to teach him to read? No actual teaching occurred. He just figured it out using the resources we had given him. And that is how it has been for much of his 12 years.
