JEREMIAH IS 16!
He's not undergoing any of the typical "rites of passage" of this age (such as getting a license) because he still has some maturing to do. But, the number stands. He is 16. And, 17 isn't too far away already.
On the big day, Peter took Jeremiah and a few friends to do a local "escape room". I had to work, so I was not able to join them, but they had a great time. Before that (and before I left for work), we had cake (baked by Alayna) and ice cream. Despite not having a license, Jeremiah did get a new set of wheels for his birthday -- a skateboard! He was thrilled. And, now that he's going to school about a mile from home, he can get himself to and from school.
It's hard to believe that in just two years, Jeremiah will be a legal adult. He has some growing up to do, but he has a big heart and is eager to please, so he is working to be his best him.
Happy Sweet 16, Jeremiah!
