Happy Six Years, Little Boy

Yesterday, Tyler turned six.
He is our first grandchild, the one that we have
learned on,
loved on
and
made most of the mistakes on.
The first.
Four girls, our daughters,
and then
this little boy.
He is active,
He is wild,
He is noisy,
but he is loving,
caring
and
always ready to go anywhere Grandma will take him.
Anywhere.









I say
Let's
he is ready before I get "Go"
out of my mouth.







We have been through
bumped heads, 
bruised knees,
a Preschool Drop-out.
Well actually,
they ASKED that he not be brought back.
and
eventually...
Preschool graduation,
Kindergarten graduation,
let's just say,
the principal knows his name...
and he knows what the inside of her office looks like.


Many Halloweens,
Many Christmas holidays!

Easters and every holiday,
Tyler
You have brightened our life and made it a better place.

And then today.
You were talking to a friend.
You were trying to be cool.
and
Grandma asked you to go someplace with her...
and
you
said
"NO"


That was rough.
I'll get over it.
It may take awhile.

I had tears in the corners of my eyes.

Thank goodness your brother ran and grabbed my hand.

Oh Cathy, you know just how much this post touched my heart. Tyler, kiddo, Happy Birthday !! Hmmmmmm, did Tyler inherit his grandma's personality? (giggle) He sounds like a great kid. Love kids with that type of personality. He will make friends so easily as today. I feel for you. I so dread the day when Darbee Rae wants to go with friends instead of me. And I know its coming and she's only 3. But it won't last. He will always cherish you and what you too do and have done together. Loved the pic of all the grands.

Just like our own children, grandchildren grow up 'way too quickly. He'll be back as soon as he gets his next boo-boo!
