My Boy!
I do love this face...

He spent a night and a day with me last week, and we had a fine time.  We weeded the garden, and he sang to the plants to help them grow...he said they were growing faster when he sang.  :)  Thank you to a dear friend who suggested that plants might grow better when sung to by children!

And then we picked blackberries, and "I eated them ALL, dramma."   As if I couldn't tell by the color of that face and those hands. :)
Then we went to my place of employment to pick up my paycheck.  I took him to my new store and let him explore.  The store was busy while we were there, and he helped me wait on a customer.
Next, we visited the building where I used to work.  We rode the carousel, he got to choose a small toy, and we had a soft pretzel and a drink.
Then home, for a 'peanut-belly-&-sammich' and a short rest on the porch swing.
It was a very, very fine day.

John Lennon

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
