This picture, like so many, is going to make sense to but a few. But as we walked to the car after school today, I was just struck how my little boy is becoming something else. He's becoming a dude who wears jeans and walks somewhere. He's not just a little boy somebody looks after. He's that. Yes. And he will be that for a good while to come, thank goodness. But he's becoming something else too. He's becoming a guy.
As we headed to the car this afternoon, he handed off his school backpack to me and ran on ahead. As he does just about every day. But today, as I watched him walk ahead of me, I saw the beginnings of a saunter. And I saw him walking into the future. That's why I snapped this picture.
I love every day. He still cries like a baby when he stubs his toe. Next moment, he walks like a man.
What a weird world is being a parent.
