my Sam is growing too fast. Way. Too. Fast. I got all emotional thinking about it last night. I blamed it on the pregnancy hormones, but we all know that's not true at all. I'm such a cry baby; especially when it comes to my kids.
I'm in a real dilemma with Sam right now. I love, love, love his ever-expanding independence in so many ways. He makes his bed, clears his plate after dinner, gets himself dressed, helps his little brother, has his own opinions, and loves to be my helper with everything (and is actually helpful!).
But at the same time, I'm so not ready for a lot of this growing up stuff. I'm not ready for him to go out with the neighborhood boys and ride bikes by himself like he begs to do. I'm not ready for him to ride the bus to school. I'm not ready for him to get sweaty armpits and whiskers for that matter. It'll happen all too soon, you know.
Can't I just keep him safe behind the fence in my backyard forever and ever?
I love age four. Love it. Love it.
Today, he went and grew up a little more on me. He mastered the rings at the playground. I've never seen him so proud.
Besides my emotional outbursts, we've been loving spring. We've dug in the dirt at the park, worked in the yard and soaked up the sun. Spring is happiness in my book.

Hummmm.....I TOTALLY get it! What are you going to do when they move 1300 miles away!?!...Time for a visit! xo
ps...my nose hurts!
Both your boys are looking so grown up and cute. It feels like we haven't seen you guys in forever. I love the pictures of them in their sun glasses.
I love the pictures of Sam and Max laying on the blanket with sunglasses on. They are the cutest boys! It's so nice that it is finally getting warm here. I agree with you, spring is definitely happiness!
I read something somewhere that 4 years old is the perfect age: old enough to be out of diapers and young enough to not have the stresses of school and homework.
p.s. I think that Sam's bumcrack photo should be your new FB profile picture. Just sayin'.
Aww!! What a sweet post about your boys!
Haha, I love the bum crack picture! And the dirty hands are so funny. Love those boys. Molly is gonna have so much fun with them in florida!
Yippee. I finally got to comment. I loved your pictures and the tender message about the boys growing up too fast. I know you are enjoying each day and from the pictures, you will have sweet memories. I love you all. Grandma VERDA
