I finished Will’s car quilt today. I took it to him and said “Look—your car quilt is finished!”
And he said with Wii controller in hand “Cool. Cool. I like it a lot, Mom.” His eyes never left the television screen.
I knew I didn’t have much longer to enjoy the little boy who was thrilled and awed with everything I made…but I thought I had another year or two!
And perhaps his biggest recent ‘growing up’—we make it through the night without seeing him these days. We actually put away his ‘special bed’ this weekend—the feather bed at the foot of our bed that he would move to in the middle of the night—because he hadn’t used it in about a week. He hasn’t even mentioned its absence. It finally happened. Which I guess means we only have 4 years left before we’ll be free of Ellie, too. 😛
