Today J hit a milestone. See his spiffy duds? He tied the tie himself. No joke. He came in the bedroom this morning showing it off. He literally WATCHED his dad do it once and tried it on his own neck and nailed it.
I, the sentimental mom, got mushy. I rushed him, blubbering sentiments about how he was not old enough to tie his own tie, how he needed to slow down this whole growing up thing....and I kissed him all over his little face.
He patiently endured my love fest until his little 10 year old manliness had had enough. "OK, MOM! Geesh! Enough with the kisses already!"
And THEN he walked over to his dad and quietly warned him man to man,
"Man! You gotta' be careful around her."
I'm still laughing.
