{a reminder}

::even though ford is only 4, he's always been the "big" boy::

he was only 20 months old when he became the big brother,

and had just turned 3 when it happened again,

so he's always seemed so big in comparison to the little guys.

-------------------

::every once in a while, i'll get a reminder he's still my baby too::

today, he asked me to carry him upstairs for rest time.

he wrapped his arms around me, squeezed me tight,

and put his head right in the crook of my neck.

and he felt just like my baby again.

--------------------

::and then he tooted::

right on my hand.

3 times.

he laughed and laughed,

and said, 'gotcha!'

::they sure do grow up fast!::
