Birthdays as a sixteen year old sure look different. His focus was spending time with friend, both during the day while I worked and then in the evening after dinner. He didn't want to do anything special (with his mom and dad, at least!), but we did finally hit up Waterfront for seafood. Eating seafood is a fairly new thing for us, since Max only recently got an all clear on his shellfish allergy, so we went all out and tried numerous dishes. We ended the night with root beer floats before we were once again left while he hung out with friends. That sums up life with a sixteen year old: feed them, they come home to sleep, and then they're off again.
