big kid shoes

Ryder has been wearing closed toed, big kid shoes (though he still LOVES his Rainbows...)  I love the sounds the shoes make on the floor when he walks or runs.  When the shoes go on, he KNOWS that we are really going somewhere, even if it's just to his play area in the garage. 

He was sitting on my lap as we were getting ready for an outing and, call it hormones, I looked down and saw his little feet and melted.  He gives hugs and snuggles and loving pats on my shoulder.  He plays with my hair and pats my face... I love it! I want to savor every second of this little man's childhood.

You are so precious to us! We couldn't love you more!
