Peter was beginning to notice some hair growing on his upper lip; and he was also getting comments from teammates about it. So he approached Jim and me the other night asking if he could learn how to shave.

My mind immediately went here:

What?? Wasn’t it just yesterday that this little cherub-faced toddler slathered Jim’s shaving cream on his face in an attempt to be just like Dad?

Apparently, several years passed without me noticing, because this is what I saw the other night. First, Jim modeled for Peter.

Then the toddler-turned-teenager was on his own.
