is it just me?

Is it just me

or

is this guy

looking

less & less

like a baby

and

more & more

like

a

little boy?

big guy & little guy

I love this big guy & this little guy.

But, what do I love

even more?

How much

this little guy

loves

this big guy

& how much

this big guy

loves

this

little guy.

of course

Of all the toys

this kid has,

do you know

his favorite

thing to play with?

A

clementine,

of course.

I can't wait

When you reach the proper age

I will teach you to read

and you can turn the pages

how to dress & tie your shoes

your one plus ones

and your two times twos

As you grow, I'll show you things

how to ride your bike

and kick your legs out on the swings

to fold your hands & bow your head

how to say your prayers before you go to bed

And you'll teach me

of hearts & dreams

and all the most important things

and all that I have lost along the way

and I can't wait.

("I can't wait," by Sara Groves)

thankful

on this day

that's made

for

giving

thanks,

I'm thankful

for

this boy

we made.
