Flash Forward...
The realization that this one turns SIX Tuesday has Jon and I both looking through old pictures and sobbing hysterically...Ok, fine, maybe Jon isn't the one sobbing, its me.
but he has gone through lots of old pictures lately on this blog and other spots and we are both in disbelief of this six-year old milestone. I'll spare us all the recap of an entire year, but I will say it included Jon breaking his ankle/leg and quite honestly I'd rather not relive that mess.
The buds are still in full force though, as you can see.
We have a new rug rat to add to the mix.
Her name is Cupcake and she's equally as much of a nugget as Tiny is.
We love her all the same.
The above picture demonstrates that I have been forced to resort to extreme measures to get the pictures these days. About 6 months ago he decided he was over all the pictures.
I am not above bribery to get my scrapbook pics!
Age 6:
Baseball under his belt from last year and just started first season of basketball. wants to start karate asap. Loves all things Star Wars. Has about 7 light sabers and thinks he needs more... loves to randomly sing Christian song lyrics, which makes my heart happy...
loves his teacher, Mrs. Crowley and his kindergarten class.
Loves playing with the new neighbor kids at our new house.
The other day I had to go into school for something, so I walked him in. He started walking off with friends and I was like, hey, with my arms open implying a hug, he started to keep walking... so I was like, um, hellooo., he hesitated but smiled and walked back to me for a hug, when I leaned down he whispered, I love you but don't kiss me in front of the first graders.'... lol
WE ARE THERE.
We have gotten to that dreaded realization. snarl.
I was hoping he could bypass normalcy all-together and just always be my sweet loving boy that put his mom above everyone but God.. sigh
This image turned up on my FB feed the other day, as I posted:
He's still the same sweet faced little boy, only the blue blue eyes have turned aqua blue greenish, and he just lost one of those bottom two teeth this past month. (first tooth to lose.)
I adore my child more than life, but oh what I wouldn't give to have another day to snuggle the little nugget in this picture! sigh
