Last year Little Man's third birthday was on Mother's Day  -- this year the celebrations are just one day apart.  He's another year older and -- at least in his mind -- another year wiser.  Looking at him I don't see much difference, but holding up pictures from last year to now it's a shock.  His vocabulary, his interests, his emotions; everything about him is big and getting bigger.  His independence is reassuring and scary, such as when he takes off at warp speed down a busy street or is very insistent in telling me that stomping his foot in rhythm with Lady Gaga is not the same as finding the beat of a Lady Gaga song (both true stories that occurred on the same day).  Needless to say, he keeps me constantly on my toes.  No one can make me laugh harder or clench my jaw tighter than he can. Little Man, on your fourth birthday I wish you the space to continue spreading your wings along with the peace you seek when emotions feel too overwhelming. ...

School Days

It's been awhile since I've had the time, energy, or capacity to post. Summer was filled with my personal studies and other adventures, and now I'm gearing up for year 21 in the classroom. However, we've reached a much bigger milestone in our house -- Little Man is officially a preschooler. Being away all day is nothing new; having been in daycare most of his life, Little Man has had the privilege of so many others besides us loving on him and shaping his early years. Some of those people are still in his life today, a fact for which we are so grateful.

Watching him stride in and out of the building each day with his backpack (which is adorably almost as big as he is) made him seem so grown up. He still held my hand as we walked across the parking lot, but it was obvious he was ready to tackle the day on his own. Some days he would ...

It has been a big week for Team Little Man. For one, he competed in his first gymnastics meet.  We have no illusions of future greatness; he loves going to the gym, but his athletic pursuits are sometimes overshadowed by his social connections.  The meet was packed with families and friends wanting to see their favorite gymnast succeed; it was sometimes hard to find a spot without getting in someone else's way.  At the end Little Man was Little Man -- both in his moves and in his desire to know what everyone else was doing.  In a group of four he solidly brought up the rear (although he ended up third in the all-around thanks to a tie for first).  He was thrilled with his new trophy, proudly displaying it in the air and constantly exclaiming, "I won!"  We were so glad he bravely stepped on the floor and enjoyed the experience without any pressure. He also spent his first night in his new big boy bed, an early birthday present from Husband and me.  We c...
