i can't believe that this boy is already THIS boy. 

only a year-and-a-half later. 

soooooo not wanting his picture taken. 

those are trading cards in his shirt pocket.

and there are stripe-y socks inside those big boy shoes. 

+++

my lukey requests that we call him luc or lucas. 

and pours himself a bowl of cheerios (with a spoonful of sugar)

all before waking me in the morning.

and THAT boy down there graduated from pre-school on friday.

and i'm not even kidding.
+++

we are walking the line of little boy wonder and big boy curiosity.

i want to keep his imagination wild.

keep the magic in rainbow tie-dyed head-to-toe suits.

and mittens on both hands in the middle of spring.

+++

i don't want anyone to tell him otherwise.

not yet.
