Boy Stuff....

There's a boy in my house –
and Spiderman shoes
And 200 papers in various blues.
There's a fireman coat to wear in the rain.He has cars on his shirts and frogs on hats
There's a glove and a ball and a red plastic bat.
There's dirt on a face and a smudge on a nose;
Grass stains on knees and sand between toes.
There's bath time at night with places to scrub,And when we're all done there is dirt in the tub!
There's band aids and bruises and curious bumps,
There's smiles and laughter and sometimes there's grumps.
There's odors most icky; there's boogers so green
There's more yucky things than I'll ever get clean.
There's piles of laundry; there's stories at night;
There's bedtime and bath time and dinnertime fights.
There's cars and there's trains and there's books about trucks
Sometimes there are bugs, and sometimes there are frogs;
Sometimes they are lions, or dinos, or dogs.
There are cute little vests and darling neckties
Dragged right through the mud – oh what a surprise!
There's running and climbing and jumping and falling
And laughing and crying and hugging and brawling
And rolling and losing and finding and creeping
And whining and stealing and sometimes there's sleeping.
There's tantrums and time outs and extra loud noise
There's love in my house shaped like a sweet little boy.

Guice is has turned into a little boy, overnight it seems. He is growing up minute by minute. And it is going much too fast!

i know exactly what you mean about it happening over night. jude is almost 21 months old. i know that's what the calendar says anyway, but it's really hard to believe.
