Growing, Growing, Gone!

Disclaimer: Yes, my son's eyes are red. In trying to be cautious about getting sunscreen in his eyes, I didnt rub the sunscreen close enough to his eyes so he has a sunburned ring under both of his eyes. Can you tell what Spidey is pushing away in the above picture?
Does this show it any better?

How about this?

At the time of these pictures being taken, Ry and I were both laughing at the fact that Spidey was literally pushing me away from him on the carousel. But looking back on these pictures, it makes me sad.

It's hard to think that someday, he wont need me to stand next to him while he rides the carousel.

Even harder to think that someday, he may not need me at all.

Why do they have to grow up so fast?

It's fun and hard to catch tiny glimpses of the way my children are growing and to think of what they'll be like when they grow up. I am so proud of who they are---but cant they just stay little for a while longer?

Every time I turn around, Spidey has a new phrase or word. He is talking like crazy.

And Petey...I thought that girl was sassy before. Look out world!

I am so grateful to call them mine and to share them with my best friend.

And that's how Suze sees it.
