Christmas break was a beautiful new experience for us to have Tehya stay with us,
observing on a day to day basis what a special young lady she has become.
A couple of days after she moved back to her dorm,
I picked Jack up at pre-school and we had a few hours alone.
The feelings in the switch from oldest to youngest
fill my heart yet again
with poignant awareness to seize the moments we have.
Conversations are precious.
I love seeing how he organizes his thoughts and
how practical he is in his talk and play.
He seems to be okay with predictability.
Just as I am. ...
because that is how he will remember.
We baked buns, read, made pancakes and played.
I see sweet glimpses of a mom whom he adores,
one who makes him feel special and free to make others laugh,
with obvious tendencies to want to be just like his dad.
I see both building into his life,
daily small things, time spent talking, playing and teaching -
qualities to define
the true measure of the man he will become.

Special times with a special little man!
Oh he has changed into a little boy look leaving that sweet baby look behind. So handsome. He resembles his siblings more now, too. Wonderful times with your youngest!
Sweet times with your little man. He is growing so fast.
And a handsome little builder man he is! I love how you are taking it all in.
