How Did This Happen?

This is my cousin, Taylor. (And his girlfriend Mandy.)

Today is his 17th birthday.

Wait.

Did I say 17?

OMG!

How did this happen? Just yesterday he was a tiny baby who drooled all over me and I was 17 and I thought that was so gross.

Just yesterday I was pulling him around the yard in a wagon. Again. And again.

Just yesterday he was telling me that he couldn't do homework because parakeets hurt his ears.

Just yesterday he was trick or treating in adorable costumes.

How can he be 17?

How can he be graduating from high school this year?

How can he be driving?

How can he have a girlfriend?

I don't understand.

Happy Birthday Taylor.
