Rocking that teenage look

Ok so he's still 18 months off being a teen but he seems so much nearer to it since he started High School. Everybody told me he would change and he has. My independent boy has become even more independent and his confidence has grown. He seems happy at his new school, he's made new friends (although he won't bring them home as he's embarrassed by us!) and he appears to be working hard (we may be told otherwise when we go to parents evening next month). He's joined the rugby team, started learning guitar and been voted in as form rep. Proud of my boy :-)
