30 Things to Do With Your Son Before He Graduates

It’s hard to believe that time passes by so quickly. Before time slips away from you, here are 30 things to do with your son before he graduates.

As the old saying goes, kids grow like weeds. One day they cling to you as if they will never see you again, and the next you will be lucky to get a, “goodbye!” as they run out the front door to hang out with their friends.

It’s hard to believe time passes by so quickly..  I’ve got two boys that are growing so fast. Just yesterday they seemed like they were tiny. Now, ten years + later, one is already talking about where he’s going to live after high school. Yikes!
