Reflections

This photo is from when my oldest boy was 17 months old. He was born to communicate! Before he had any words he was making conversation as though he were an adult (it was really cute baby babble :) Now my little guy is 4 and he still has never met a stranger. As we walked through the store this morning every cashier smiled and waved to him- no wonder he thinks he's a rock star! As he hopped up into the barber chair last week he asked "So, have you worked here long?" He also says things that melt my heart: "Mom! I'm an Astronaut and I came back from outer space because I forgot to give you a hug and kiss."

Last week he asked:

"Why do you always wear that ring, mom?" Me: "Because I promised your Dad that I would always love him." "Well I want to wear a ring all the time too because I promise to always love you."

Ah, such things as these make me wish he could be 4 forever. But then again, I didn't want him to grow out of his baby babbling phase either because I had no idea how awesome my 4 yr old would be... I bet 5 is gonna be awesome too.

Flashbacks and Fishes on Friday

This is my first time linking up with Foto Friday, I'm very excited and I hope that I did everything right! Here's my "Light" photo:

This is from my oldest boy's 2nd birthday- we gave him a fish tank... he was super happy! I love the light on his face and the wonder in his eyes. One of the fish (a Gourami) hid inside the car most of the time. My boy named him "Heavy" and he would say "Where's Heavy go? Oh, he's inna Jeep."

Well, Heavy died a while ago, and other less interesting fish have come and gone so we headed back to "the Fish Store" (aka PetsMart) to buy some more fish. My boy thought he would buy a ghost fish (the kind that's completely see-through) or a shark (what's the difference, right?) but in the end we bought an African dwarf frog and another Heavy. Ah, I love how simple life is right now :)
