He has certainly changed since I started writing. In fact, my first post was written while he was taking a nap. Unfortunately napping has gone the way of floppy disks and bell bottoms in our household. That’s one change I’d like to have back, actually.
When I started blogging, my Little Dude was new to walking.
His vocabulary was extremely limited.
He was shy in many situations.
Now he has turned into a very funny, smart and handsome little guy who is the star of his preschool class.
He loves to identify every car by manufacturer when we are driving or in a parking lot.
He has unbelievable knowledge of exotic animals that I’dnever even heard of until he introduced me to them.
And he’s a proud big brother.
Many people say he looks like me. Frankly, I don’t see it. He has my hair, finicky palate and inherent stubbornness. Thankfully he also shares Mrs. Dude’s gentle nature and good heart.
We've shared countless one-on-one Dudes' Dinners at his favorite restaurant.
It’s cliché to say that the time went so fast, but it truly has.He helped me get through the loss of my mother and it’s amazing now to see reminders of her in him even though he was very young when she passed.
It’s an honor to call him my son and I look forward to watching him grow.
And maybe someday tasting a piece of pizza.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Little Dude (a bit belated)!! Hope it was a great day!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that little bundle is three years old already! People say my older son looks like me but I can't see it, either. But from an outsider's perspective: the kid looks just like you!
