So my 13 (soon to be 14) year-old son shaved for the first time last night with mom in tow snapping pictures left and right. I was really impressed with how Alex conducted himself with the razor (non-electric, triple blade disposable - we'll use the straight blade next time, heh) and mom taking shots. I could tell he was self-conscious, but mom behaved and didn't interrupt and did a great job catching the moment... and alas, he's also growing in strength. I almost couldn't break his bear hug (an old test of strength my step-dad, Tom, and I used for a long time). The good news is that he is going to be an awesome asset for the yard work which is usually on my shoulders.
