Cub

My middle-son was invested as a Cub last night. I was surprised how emotional and proud I felt, as I am not usually one for institutions or ceremonies. He was so excited about moving on from Beavers and finally being a proper part of Cubs, which he has been attending for a few weeks to get used to it. He is looking forward to going camping and playing football and eventually being a Scout.

He looked such a big boy in his new sweatshirt and, as my husband commented, another phase of his life has passed and a new one begun, another step on the road of growing up.
