january 31st 2002 matt & i started our journey into parenthood. i can't believe my baby boy big guy is ten years old. that went by so fast and i image the next ten will go even faster. here he is waking up on his big day. gift of choice? i touch. he's so excited. i think in a way he feels independent. his very own; not to share w/ anyone else. the ipad, desktop computer, PS3, WII are all great, BUT are shared w/ the family. this is his to put in his pocket and take wherever he wants. it makes me smile, but breaks my heart a bit all at the same time that's he's growing up so fast.
saturday is his birthday celebration. he wanted a football party so we will have the pre Super Bowl game in our backyard with about a dozen 9 - 10 year olds. doesn't get better than that.
and of course he can't forget about HER, who thinks she's falling behind in the electronics game. when i pointed out she has a hello kitty boom box in her room, which he does not have, it made her feel a little bit better... temporarily.
