My son played Catcher for part of the baseball game today. I got a close-up of that sweet little face hiding in that helmet right before he went out to the field. He's growing up so fast...but in my heart, he'll still always be my baby. ;-)
Ah, the beauty and simplicity of childhood....no timetables, no worries or responsibilities, no stress... I remember lounging around on the floor watching Sesame Street when I was little too. My mom would bring me snacks and drinks, and I'd watch my show on the floor or upside down on my head on the couch... ha ha! Life was so easy and fun. :) We had our priorities straight. Sometimes, I really wish I could be a child again... Why does life make grown ups change?
Tonight, our son's team, the Cubs, played its first night game against the Marlins. Cubs won 14-4! Here is our little Cub getting ready to go up to plate. He hit a great one - pretty far into left field! We were so proud of him!
Today I spent a good half hour blowing bubbles with my son on the porch. Up until now, he's never been able to control his breath and little mouth enough to blow bubbles on his own. He desperately wanted to learn how to "do it myself" so I had him practice and practice and practice. He had so much fun and when he finally figured out how to do it, he was thrilled! Look at that happy face! He was unstoppable! I absolutely love seeing life through the eyes of a child. Why can't we bottle up childhood innocence for our whole lives?
This is my son doing his homework (math and spelling) after school today. He looks so grown up to me lately... time flies when you're having fun!
Today, my little guy found my bag with all his Sesame Street puppets that I had packed for my photoshoot with my nephews in Jupiter. He arranged them all on the couch to watch Sesame Street with him this morning.
This is my other sweet nephew. He is hilarious and completely silly! We put on some music for him in his room while my sister was nursing the baby in the glider. I put him in his crib so he wouldn't hurt himself while I was taking pictures, and before we knew it he was dancing like crazy and bobbing his head to the beat and running around giggling. He was also playing peek-a-boo in there - totally putting on a little show, loving all our attention. He is such a trip! (Check out the awesome artwork on the wall - my brother-in-law painted it!).
