So true - so true.  It seemed like he just grew up all of a sudden between last year and this year.  I tell my wife to enjoy these moments, because he is going to be off to college before you know it and you are going to be balling your eyes out.

I keep telling him to stop growing, but he says he can't.  He has a stuffed rabbit that he calls hoppie and he used to carry that rabbit everywhere when we went out and people would smile all the time at him.  He just stopped doing that and well to tell you the truth, I kinda miss those days.
