Me & the Boys

I had an afternoon with just the boy and the husband.  The girls were off with friends and so, it was just us on this crisp fall day.  Not that we don't get alone time with Rafferty, but it just so happens that I snatched up my camera for a trip to the park with the guys and was forced to take many pictures.  Turns out, Raf wanted me to take a picture of him doing everything.  Jumping, smiling as if he were in pain, riding his scooter, swinging on the swing (!!!) and enjoying it for the VERY first time, and then, with a single leaf, that initially happen to get stuck in his hair, and then staged for pictures thereafter, staged screaming, staged.  I'm certain I'm raising a little narcissist, here. But he's getting so big.  He's so funny.  He's passionate.  He feels everything.  He is starting to think of others much more often, which is great. Maybe we'll avoid creating a narcissist after all.  :) He's growing up.  He sadly also has an ear infection right now.  So, in between, ibuprofen, he's crying in pain, and I certainly sympathize.  Get better buddy.  We enjoy watching grow, little one.  You bring us much joy.
