Our BIG boy.

Seriously. When did he get SO big?

He really looks like a little man. He likes wearing his belt and boots and anything else that he has that is "like daddy's". I love seeing him learn and grow, but sometimes I wish he would just slow down!! My favorite part of the day these days is in the morning when Stratton comes and gets in bed with me to "Nuggle mommy". He always has to "get under covers" and we watch the Disney channel while he drinks his "choc-it milk"for a few minutes before we get up to get dressed. I really do treasure those moments, as I realize that I am going to blink and he's going to be all grown up. I put this poem I found in his 2 year pictures/photo book. It's quite fitting for how I feel about Stratton these days! It's so sweet . . .

Little Man

Little Man, just two feet tall,
You're really not a man at all.
And yet you try so hard to be,
Just like the grown-ups that you see.
You want to be like daddy,
and maybe Grandpa too.
You want so, to be big,
And do the things they do.
Well, dream my little man,
and let your mind have wings.
Pretend you are the captain,
of ships and planes and things.
But when the day has ended,
and your make-believe is done.
Come home to where you're loved,
and for awhile just be my son.
