This is my Littlest recently. My big mess. My ball of energy. He is like a little tornado. Yes, he is quite a handful. Woudln't have it any other way. I'm sure I have better pictures but this pretty much sums it up. He climbs onto the couches and jumps like he's sky diving. He does it again. He does it more. He goes in time out, says "sorry" and later, tries it again. {big sigh} I'm afraid he's going to be a high adrenaline junky. Sayin.

This is the Littlest' favorite in all the world toy. He has chewed it, thrown it in the trash, the toilet, it's been boiled, it's been washed, it's been hidden, it's been in his sweet sweaty little hands a LOT, and mostly, it's usually not far out of his sight or hold. He has this thing for buses. "Big BUS!" He LOVES LOVES LOVES all buses, loves to go to the bus stop, is so totally enamored with buses. Also, he has an affinity for big trucks or as he calls them, "tig tucks". Oh my. This boy. He amazes me to no end. He is twice, easily twice, no three times the adventure and energy the Oldest was when he was this age and man that scares me. How can that possibly be? For real? Am I on candid camera? He falls he never cries. He slams his head in the wall and says out loud, "get up" and keeps going, I wait for the tears, I'm waiting right there to soothe him, comfort him, uh uh, he does not need it. Give him his truck and he's good to go. Heaven help us.

This is my oldest son who is growing way too fast. I look at him and I think, really, is this happening? You are getting that old and I am getting that much older? How am I doing? Are you ok? I always want to make sure he is ok. Oh, he is my boy. He makes me proud and drives me mad. How can that be? I think it's normal.
