The M&M Story

Yesterday..... This week M announced that he no longer wanted to sleep with Tiger. S: "Buddy, why don't you want to sleep with Tiger anymore?" M: "Because I'm big now." S: (Choking back tears, not just because he's growing up, but it pained me to think of Tiger stuffed in some box somewhere.) "Have you asked Tiger about this? Is it okay with him?" M: "Sure. I asked him if he wanted to sleep in his own bed, and he said yes. Can we get him a bed, Mom?" As of this moment, Tiger is sleeping on the floor next to M's bed. Today... At lunch today, I asked B what he wanted to be when he grew up. M's usual answer is a Rescue Hero that saves people from volcanoes. B: "I'm not going to grow up." S: "Really? Do you want to stay a boy forever?" B: "Yes and just play blocks all the time." And he took a bite of his cheese and that was that. Okay, Peter Pan.

A few more pics from our trip.

A few shots of our beach trip with friends. We had an amazing time. The boys loved playing with friends, swimming in the pool, and frolicking in the ocean. I loved watching them engage in God's beautiful creation. B's favorite part was building sandcastles. M's favorite part was that and boogie boarding.
