Oh, Boy!
Boy. He's one of my favorite things. Spoken like a doting mom, right?
When Boy first entered our lives, I was nervous about being a good mom. I find it interesting that when Girl entered our lives that I was nervous about being a good MIL. When Sweet E entered? Oh, man...the nerves.
But, as far as I can tell, it's working out pretty good on all fronts.
I have Boy to thank for that. He was my first. My greatest. My experimental, fun-time, push-me-to-my-limits child.
Little did I know that when Boy was born we would share a deep affinity for the laugh. How ever life came, easy or hard, the one thing we could count on was sharing a laugh.
Listening to that laugh is still one of my favorite things in this life.
Thankfully, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Between having G-Daddy and OMT! for parents, he got the silly gene in spades.
Note about photo below: Prior to Husband snapping this picture, Boy and I were standing like two respectable adults in front of the George Bush Sr. Presidential Library. Husband counted down 3....2.... and right before he said, "1," I grabbed Boy's ear and playfully gave it a twist.
SURPRISE!
The result is one of my fav pics ever of me and Boy.
The German is right: I have no shame. But, the silliness captures the essence of our life together; it's unexpected and fun and filled with laughter.
Not a bad way to move through parenthood, or childhood, I think.
That is SUCH a great shot! One to treasure, for sure.
Thanks! I like the juxtaposition of our silliness vs the serious museum. If I remember correctly, there was a guard there that was not pleased with us. SHENANIGANS!
I LOVE how you talk about Boy and all the special people in your life. It's is so touching!
Thank you. It's moving for me to read that you love it.
Such a cute photo! LOL 🙂
Again, thanks for joining the Link Up this week!
Thanks.
Not a bad way, at all! I love it! Laughter is so important - as is being silly - and you've done both!
Silliness + laughter = our house! Thanks for coming by!
Kids are the best!!! Stopping by as co-host of Homemade link Party.
Agreed!
I hope I have silly moments with my son like this! He's only two but we already like to laugh! I happen to love the silly candid photos just as much (or more) than the respectable posed ones.
Respectable pictures?! What is this respectable you speak of? Lol! I hope you have them too.
