Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

With Ginger’s help and patience, Nicholas can now dress and undress himself. One the one hand, it’s a huge help in the morning and evenings (especially the mornings), but it also means my little man is growing up. He’s becoming more self-sufficient and relies on dad less. I know he’s still only four (almost five), but sometimes I wish he could be this age forever. I know that’s not possible and he’ll grow up, so I’m doing my best to take it all in before he ships off to college.

Oh, some other things he does: he helps set and clear the table, is getting better about his “yes sir, no sir, yes ma’am and no ma’am,” and when he’s with us, he helps feed Dolley and lets her out when she needs to go. I couldn’t have asked for a better child. He makes me so proud. OK, gotta go now before I get all emotional and stuff.

If you have children, hug them tight and always tell them you love them. Always!
