Even at a young age, it’s easy to see how eager Junior is to accomplish all those firsts.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting

I missed his first birthday, but isn’t he cute.
While I rejoiced at seeing my children grow up, taking their first step, getting out of diapers, speaking their first understandable word, feeding themselves without more food ending on the floor than in them, attending their first day of school and endless other firsts until they walked out the door to start their own independent lives, I find the way my grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren, advance in life way too fleeting.
Perhaps it’s because I don’t get to see them often.
I wish they would grow more slowly. But I’m so glad for the digital world of pictures so I can see the progress of Junior’s fleeting moments, even if I wasn’t there to take them.
Did you ever see a cuter kid dressed up for Halloween? Junior will be four next month.
