Bright Blue Skies

My lil man and I made our trek to the nearby park. Just couldn’t resist. The sky was blue. Kids were outside riding their bikes. Birds were chirping. Even though the park is fairly close, I brought the stroller. The routine is that he walks a block or two then wants to be carried. I wanted to be prepared. Much to my amazement, he walked the ENTIRE way there! He made a mad dash once he spotted the grassy area and the rest of the kids going down the slide and on the swings. He was in heaven. We made star and fish shapes in the sand. Flew down the slide. Climbed the monkey bars. Unfortunately all good things had to come to an end. I had to break the news and tell him it was time to head home. Here I was thinking he would jump into his stroller after being exhausted from playing around, but NOPE, he wanted to still walk! And walk he did. He walked the entire way back. I just couldn’t believe it! He isn’t this little baby boy anymore. The one who would walk 5 steps and ask to be picked up. He was happy to hold his cars and bucket and complete his journey back home. It’s times like this I have to realize that he gets older each and every day. But he will always be my baby boy.
