Its crazy how fast time flies and how fast my son has grown in the last 4 years. My son is currently 13 and is already almost my height of 6'1. I took him shopping about two weeks again before school started and to my surprise his feet are even bigger than mine. I wear a size 11 in men and he is currently a size 12. He is definitely going to be taller than me in a couple of more years which is crazy to even think about when just in 2021 he was shorter than his twin sisters and now he towers over them lol.
We spent most the morning doing errands, he had a half a day and I decided to keep him home and take off and enjoy my Friday. We did food shopping and the barbershop together and now were on the way to iHop for brunch.
Wishing you all a great weekend!

I'm glad you two are spending the day together. (He's a cute kid. I guess he takes after your lovely wife. 
)
My youngest brother outgrew me when he was 14. I'm 5' 10 1/2 inches and wear a size 11 men's shoe. My brother was 6' 2" and wore a size 14 shoe. I was a year older than him.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX If he ever complains, tell him he could have looked like you. (I looked like my mom, too. Believe me, that's a good thing.

Here, I can show you my parents when they had just gotten married. Mom was 19 and dad was 30.

Wow, that’s a tall kid. He’s going to be asked to play basketball a lot, whether he likes it or not. 
Hope you have a great day together!

There's 2 good looking guys out on the town for the day.
You're such a great Dad, your kids must love you, the one-on-one time that you devote to them, that teaches them so much about being an adult and getting along. You do errands together and that makes it easier and not as routine.
Have a great weekend.

That's a really nice picture of you two handsome guys! Boys do have a tendency to have growth spurts and I guess he'll be towering over you all soon. It's nice you had a bonding day with Jr

I always carved out some one-on-one time with each one of my children when they were still at home. It’s important, and you’re making memories. And as you’ve already realized, time flies very fast.
