BIG OL' BOY



Well, it's been a little while since I've "blogged" about my #1 little guy. Rest assured, there have been plenty of memorable moments since my last post. HALLOWEEN, for example, was probably one of the best "memory makers" ever. If you're out of the loop and don't know, Newt was a TIGER for HALLOWEEN. Probably the most adorable TIGER ever, I might add. There was a moment (work with me here) as he was running down the street (as a tiger) in front of me, with all the other kids, that I was overwhelmed with this "THAT'S MY CHILD!" feeling. It was a bitter-sweet. It was a proud father, watching his baby boy growing up right before his eyes..........

Newt is going to pre-school now......and let me tell you, he is learning, learning, learning. One of the funniest things I've seen is this new term for sitting "INDIAN STYLE". They call it "CRISS-CROSS APPLESAUCE". At any given time, I can tell Newt: "CRISS-CROSS APPLESAUCE", and he will immediately go to "INDIAN STYLE". If you have pre-school age children, try it. Chances are, they are using this politically correct term at your child's place of learning.

I wish I could make all these TYPED words make you understand how much I really love this little boy. I guess for now, you're going to just have to take my word for it.

Newt has been quick to correct me that he is not a LITTLE BOY....nor is he a BIG BOY....but in fact, he is a BIG OL' BOY. Priceless. Don't believe me? Luckily, I have provided the video to prove it.
