wonder years
My son is so shy, I have no idea what to do about it – Said the other mom about her son. That’s not my story. This little guy right here keeps me super busy with sports, friends, schoolwork and lots of questions and observations that take the credit for my now permanent furled brow. He keeps me going. In a few days, he starts middle school. Naturally, he has mixed feelings (nervous and excited). I’m just mostly nervous. I could write a whole thing about it. But, as the daughter of a therapist, I will spare you from my super analytical take on, well, everything. In short, it’s a whole new chapter for both of us. To support his passion for comics and sports, we spent an entire afternoon at Sears picking out clothes, coordinating and saying “no way, you’re not getting that” to each other. We had a fun time. But ever so often, he had to put up with that look on my face. The one that places him back in his crib. Echoes the sound of his toddler laugh. Walks with him hand-in-hand on the first day of kindergarten. Yes, that one, parents. At the same time, he’s at such a great age. We love hanging out, talking about life, the future … This is such a wonderful time. Parenting is an amazing and brilliantly colored journey, isn’t it? They grow up. We become wiser.
But they never stop being our babies.
Thanks to my hubby for the fun pics.

I hope he has an agent b.c if not, he should. I not pushing the stage mother thing, but he’s GORGEOUS, expressive, draws you in. I could see him in a Hilfinger catalogue or Gap catalogue!
Thank you! He did some commercials at one point but sports took over!
He has some of my genes … but, I was NEVER that handsome! I think he got his “sweet disposition” from me … uh-oh … that spells trouble! He’s still a big baby when he doesn’t win! Sure do adore him so! Thanks for being such a wonderful Mom to him!!!
Dang it! This got me all choked up. Your love is palpable.
Yup, he doesn’t strike me as shy.
that was beautiful, He is an amazing child and i just love him. Even my father in law talks about how smart, funny, charming he is. He really is an old soul and you do a wonderful job being his mommy.
He’s a ham and he loves this way too much!! :D
So cute! Tell him WHEN HIS MOTHER lets me come over I will bring him some KFC. LOL <3
he looks far from shy as do you so I think both of you will be fine in this new transition. he’s too adorable for words. exudes plenty of confidence!
What great photos – his personality definitely shines right through lense! And he does have a great wardrobe – lucky kid :)
I love it!! He looks so outgoing and smart and full of attitude! I can tell he has a good sense of humor just by the smile on his face. Relax and just be a proud mama!
He is soooooo cute! I loved the pics !
He’s so handsome and he totally has your expressions and smile!
These photos are amazing and his wardrobe is so trendy. Can’t wait to be a mom so I can feel what you express ;-)
