When he asked why, I told him that it means something is ending. &nbsp;\ud83d\ude41 &nbsp;Usually, I&#8217;d say I am a cup half full person, so my reaction &nbsp;surprised me. &nbsp;Max is leaving behind his elementary years tonight. &nbsp;Maybe this time it&#8217;s hitting me a little harder because Max was always classified as one of the younger boys. &nbsp;Now my younger boys are slowly leaving childhood behind. &nbsp;Or is it that I am frightened by the thought of another teenager\/high schooler being added to the mix?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Max \u2026 I wouldn&#8217;t know where to even start. &nbsp;He&#8217;s such a unique child when compared to his brothers. &nbsp;He&#8217;s conscious with his tasks and studies. &nbsp;He&#8217;s a little quieter and quirky. &nbsp;If he begins something, such as going to the gym, he is annoyingly committed. &nbsp;(Well, we know he certainly didn&#8217;t get that trait from me!!!).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
