  3. Don't you wish you could know the line of reasoning that prompted that question?

    One of my favorites from one of my boys years ago when we attended the wedding of two women friends: "Does this mean they can only have daughters?"

  4. This morning William (also 4 y.o.) asked if we could wait until he was 6 or maybe even 7 before we get into a rocket to go into space. He thinks he needs to be a bit bigger before we commence such huge adventures. I was only too happy to oblige. Seems my fifties are going to be verrry interesting !!! Sometimes I wish I was 4, but then I realise that I wouldn't appreciate the wonder of it by being it. Such is life. Ryan is totally adorable. xx

  6. Four-year-olds are my very favorite. I remember when each of mine were that age, I dearly wished they would stay that way for years and years. What a sweetie pie. :)

  8. kj, Ryan looks a lot like my little guy; I wonder if all three year olds look somewhat alike?

    Ryan's adorable. I'll bet he's looking forward to the Easter Bunny!

  9. Dear KJ,

    Allegra had the correct answer!
    Ryan IS adorable! Four is a great age....and it's such fun for you to experience the world through his eyes.

    Love You!

  12. What a cutie patootie! If they would only stay this cute forever!!!
    They grow up too fast.
    But then they have cuties of their own and the circle continues.
    Small children are what makes life worth living.
    Have a great weekend.
    Make sure you "chill down" every chance you get!!;-D

  14. What a face! I'd love to give him a big smoochie on the forehead and both cheeks, but I'll let you do that for me.
    :0)
    I love that age, four years old. Before the world and their peers start to change them. Thanks for reminding me of that wonderful time when my son was that age, dear friend. My little boy will be 19 this year, and I don't often catch glimpses of the sweet little boy he once was.

    This also reminds me of another little boy of four I knew once, back in the mid 1980s. After watching a huge gaggle of Canadian geese fly overhead, he turned to his father and asked, "When I grow up, can I be a goose?"

    At four, everything seems possible. My wish for your little Ryan is that he dreams big dreams, and lives the best and happiest life possible.

    Love and hugs,
    xoxoxo

  15. KJ, Drew is turning one? And walking? You and your Family are going to have a WONDERFUL (and very BUSY) Easter weekend! I hope Emily "behaves" and leaves some of the jellybeans for the boys...

    Enjoy!

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥

  16. annie, who doesn't brag about kids they love but i will also say mr. ryan seems incredibly smart and aware, in my 'objective' opinion. it is so fun to see how he sees things. :)

    marie, 'chill down' sounds just right! my weather is now kicking in and helping, full force. spring is a great time where i live: so many farms and fresh seedlings and plants and flowers and vegetables. i am on my way to your place soon. xo

    lori, how did you do it???? i had one feisty daughter and my hands were so full! i think of you with your five beautiful children, then and now, and i give you a ton of credit! i bet they all they you are the best Mom on the planet. xoxo

    angela, imagine living in a way that you think you can be a goose, can fly someday. i want that! how do we hold on to the wonder? and more importantly, why do we lose it in the first place?! (happy easter my dear twin)

    wrobin, yes, drew is one! where did this year go? (don't ask..) :)
    the weekend is shaping up so sweetly except JB, who was sick, is now sick again and we're wondering if it's pneumonia. she sees the doc this afternoon. oh jeez...

    ♥ everyone: i love love love your visits and comments; every single one.
