Memories Captured – Little G

January 17, 2012 by Elaine

It’s hard to choose just one child to post a picture of when you have three.

But sometimes you just happen to snap a shot of one of them that you feel is perfect for the moment.

This is one of those pictures.

My second little boy, wearing his Cars jammies, standing in front of his name that he LOVES to spell and sporting that dimple that gets me every single time he smiles.

There’s no “big” memory here, except that he’s at THAT age – the one where we as parents just know so much is going on in their precious coconut shampoo-smelling heads as they learn and play and grow.

He still has all his baby teeth and wants me to say “I love you too” and hug and kiss him many, many times when I tuck him in at night.

It won’t always be this way so I’m taking it now.  Ten fold.

    What a cutie pie you have and I love the dimple.
    Sometimes I’m thinking what I would do if there wasn’t any Lego. They are my tots favorite toy.
    Enjoy the snuggles, I definitely do. Let’s hope our sons are not going to stop anytime soon. Sigh.

    Sweet boy. My little Bud is so sweet like that, and oh my does he worship his big sister. It is so sweet to watch. Except when she’s mean to him. That isn’t sweet at all.

    Yep. Those dimples are gonna cause a lot of heartache for some little girls in a few years.

    Dimples. They do it every time.

    I love when the “no memory worthy moments” turn out to be the ones you picture in your head and place in your heart. Just them being them! Love it!

    Oh yes. He’s going to change soon. But you can see what a sweet personality he has. I think he looks about the same age as my youngest – 4?
