It's a beautiful day for the park!

So my Gus & I headed to our neighborhood playground.

Let's see........have we got everything?

fake gold medal.......check.

blue HotWheels car........check.

one Ritz cracker........check.

Gus's favorite thing to do at the park.............climb up the slide.

I love hanging out with this little guy.

He's happy about 99% of the time.

And he's growing up way too fast for me.

So I'm telling him all the time that he needs to stop growing up!

"Just stop it!" I tell him. "You're growing up too fast for Mommy. She can't handle it!"

And he'll smile & get a little mischievious sparkle in his eye.

And tell me,

"Mom, I am growing up so big!"

So then I say,

"But you'll always be my baby boy."

And then I pick him up in my arms & rock him back & forth like a little baby.

He thinks that's so funny!
