My Little Man Now

As the day nears....that was then & this is now.

It seems as it was just yesterday that my son was going to his first day of Kindergarten. He looked so happy to get to go be a big boy. In his blue jacket w/ nicely matching blue polo that I was able to pick out. Those were the days my son let me pick out his outfit for the day and never made a peep about it. Now my little man is almost finished w/ 3rd grade. I cant believe it. My little man is just that, a little man. He has his own social network of friends, activities, and what not. He still loves to give me a big hug/kiss in the morning when I drop him off to school (thank heavens). I cant believe how fast time flies. We are always in such a hurry to get our homework finished, get to our Baseball game, google an answer on the computer for our crossword homework assignment (yell, holler, scream = 5 letters w/ an "o" in the middle = shout) which only makes us laugh at the fact we could not figure it out on our own...ugh. Next year is 4th grade....I have a 4th grader almost. I just cant believe it. My heart gets a bit sad when our Baseball season starts to come to an end, the days start to get longer, and our big tests are finished for this school year. I just wish we could capture all the fun times while our children are young. I love everyday I have w/ my kids, and I cant even begin to wonder what it will be like when they are teens. Now look at my guy....how the above photo from Kindergarten and the most recent photo I have of him has changed so much.
