My little boy's room.
My little boy who will be going to first grade this fall.
My little guy who is learning how to spell words and write proud, deliberate numbers...
He who collects leaves and rocks and seashells; and dried flowers and the spiked fruit from gumball trees...
He, to whom I read Goodnight Moon not so long ago in my arms, rocking back and forth, back and forth...
My Little Prince who is growing up. The little man who is becoming so wise. I worry about his heart - how it will be broken, and how that is part of growing up. But I tell myself: he'll be fine. It will soon be time for him to go from the safety of his little school to the big school. His world is getting bigger and bigger every day. And he'll take it all in stride and be just fine...
I, on the other hand, might have a little bit of a harder time. But I, too, will be fine. For my little boy is growing up - and that is a good thing. I hope the world treats him with the love and kindness that he deserves, and that he, in turn, will treat the world in the same way.*For those of you who asked, the color on the top is Silver Sea SR209 (the same I used for the bi-fold doors, since I had leftover) and on the bottom, the color is Dust Storm EE2046C. You can get them both at Lowe's.*
