DAY 54

Well what can I say about this photo, this is my beautiful wee man, he is such a gentle soul and is growing up to fast. Every day he seems to come out with another word or phrase that just makes me think, where did my baby go". He can't wait to be 5 and even though his birthday isn't until may he has already given us a list of things he want for his birthday.  

My dishes went unwashed today, I didn't make the bed, I took his hand and followed Where his eager footsteps led. Oh yes, we went adventuring, My little son and I, Exploring all the great outdoors Beneath the summer sky. We waded in a crystal stream, We wandered through a wood; My kitchen wasn't swept today But life was gay and good. We found a cool, sun-dappled glade And now my small son knows How Mother Bunny hides her nest, Where jack-in-the-pulpit grows. We watched a robin feed her young, We climbed a sunlit hill, Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky, We plucked a daffodil. That my house was neglected, That I didn't brush the stairs, In twenty years, no one on earth Will know, or even care. But that I've helped my little boy To noble manhood grow, In twenty years, the whole wide world May look and see and know.
