So where does time go? Just yesterday I was taking pictures of Ricky falling asleep with his head all mashed in his spaghetti dinner in the high chair. Watching him take his first steps. Saying goodbye on his first day of kindergarten. Cheering him on as he played baseball, Laughing as he ran off the field when the coach yelled "Home, run home".

Tonight I pick him up from the school dance(not his first one) and he has the biggest smile on his face... He danced with a GIRL....not once but three times. I am so not ready for this...my baby is growing up. Every day I glimpse the man he will become peaking thru the akward stage of adolescence. I just struggle with the fact he is starting to fly. They may be small stretches of his wings which is the only way I think I could keep my sanity (we all know what a tight line I walk with that!) Baby steps....small, tiny baby steps, I do want him to soar, I know he will survive but will I?

So....here we go ..the world of GIRLS! :)
