My older boy is getting big.
He'll be 10 in less than 3 months.
I don't have to bend down to hug him anymore.
He's suddenly wild about
Sports
Playing ball with his friends
and
Hanging out with his dad.
I take joy in his growing up
but
I also mourn for that little guy whose heart used to belong
100% to me.
So it is especially meaningful when
he comes home with museum vouchers
and
a special request:
How about an outing?
With just the two of us and our sketch pads?
He says he's had a lot of one on one time with his dad recently.
It's been great, but...
He misses me.
I hug him tight.
We make a date.
Definitely a moment I want to remember.
This is super sweet, Val. How heartwarming!

DeleteIt IS pretty special, huh?
Makes me smile each time I think of Si's request.

I love this (1) because it's super sweet and (2) because i can see myself feeling the same way in 8.5 years... *sigh*

DeleteI hear you.
Big sigh back.
Enjoy your adorable chubby toddler and know that independent medium boys are still totally awesome.
