my son is a super secret spy.
he is an agent who seeks answers hidden in dark places with the desire to solve outrageous mysteries
he has to be in top physical shape to get in and out of the dangerous places he’s drawn to
he is always aware of his surroundings, noticing tiny details that even the best, most intelligent operatives might overlook, spotting things of great importance
he plucks precious treasures from their hiding places, with a clear understanding of what must be done
and turns them over only to she whom he most trusts, knowing that his mission is completed by this hand-off
then he slips away to the next daring adventure, leaving his leading lady with a smile on her face.

Great post! I love his shirt too. But, what IS THAT that he gave you?

He’s so cute. Amy has gotten to the point when walls can’t contain her. She laughs in the face of deadlocks and scales fences twice her height. (truth)

Ya know, Lotus, I know you know that Braden is adorable…but he just makes me wish I could have another baby, and especially a boy baby. So beautiful.

Such a sweetie. You have this dynamic down pat. Lucky me: I got me one of these little treasure hunters too. In fact, one of my precious treasures that I plan to keep as long as I can is a tiny wild violet he gave me, that I found later on the windowsill that had dried perfectly and didn’t discolor at all. It’s half the size of my pinky fingernail, and I’m so scared it will crumble in this move we’re doing across country in the next month! Oh, the stress!

I think that the premature dandelion is much better than boogers! The end shot is precious!

What a terrific melding of words and photos! So many truths encapsulated in a small space. I’m a mom whose children are now in college (one is on spring break in Florida this week — yikes!) and this brought back such tender memories. Bravo!

Everything’s been said. So the only words I’m left with are “ditto”. Except I don’t want to borrow him. Not that he’s not adorable.

'cuz I'm the mommy, that's why
Those pretty flowers for mommy are The Awesome. Especially when you realize that he’s clutched it in his little fist saving it for you for an hour until pick-up time at preschool. That’s LOVE.
My aunt told me when I found out I was having a boy that the relationship between a mother and her son was “special”. (Mama had only girls)
My aunt was so right.
