The other day I was longing for my baby version of Mason. I was remembering how round and blond he was and it made me wish that I could have him back. Oh how I missed him! As chance would have it, the two of us snuck some special time in and went on an errand all by ourselves (like we used to when he was small). As we pulled into the icy parking lot and turned off the car, Mason held up his hand and adamantly told me to wait. He then explained, "There is ice on the ground and it is slippery! Don't worry, you can hold my hand and I will keep you safe!" His brave statement warmed my little heart and made me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. I still miss baby Mason and I still want his aging to slow down, but it made me realize that there is wonder to be found at every age. Mason at three-and-a-half is a pretty lovable chap, too. And thank goodness he still snuggle-buggles!
Happy Valentines Day!!!!!

ah he is so dang cute! i know what you mean about wanting them little again...just for a moment. every time swede fights me when I change his diaper (does it ever end??! i am seriously going insane), i miss his baby smell..and the way he would lay on my chest without protest.. and yet, today when he saw me sit down eating a plate of waffles and army crawled to me faster than dash incredible, i was in awe and just laughing in excitement about all his new tricks...its amazing how motherhood can be sad and happy at the same time.
OK I am in love with those photos...the bow tie is to die for. What a sweet little guy you have:)

The bowtie is hilarious. Look out Gentleman's Quarterly.
