It's been a long time since ive had any time to write anything but philosophy and world literature papers. But i'm back! ; ) Anyway, recently Tyler did his christmas program at church. He was standing on stage next to his bff Kiley and singing like an angel when i realized something. He's just a little over a week and a half from being four years old. I just can't believe it!
I remember thinking when he was a newborn, as id watch videos of baby Craig running around in the yard that it would be forever and 1,000,000 days until Ty-Ty was doing that. It's kind of hard to imagine your infant being social, wanting to be loved, and playing with other kids their own age. But, then after day after day of playing, growing, and nurturing there suddenly comes a time where they don't want you around much anymore.
The funny thing is i never would have guessed how much Tyler cares about his looks. he's going to be one of those boys. Now its always, "Mom, does my hair look good? I just rubbed some gel in it and i want it to look nice."
I also wouldve never imagined how many girls would be pleading for his attention or to hold his hand. Or how good at art he would be. His teacher believes he's got the art capabilities of an eight year old.
Then i relaize when you have a baby for the first time and you hold them tight in those blue and pink blankets you have no idea what kind of person they will become. A doctor? a fire fighter? a loner? But, you do have control of how much they are in church and are guided by God's word through their lives. So no matter where their life may take them, you know they are never going to far from what they learned in Tiny tots class at church.
