WHEN

When did it happen? I am with you all day everyday and never saw it, but days later when I developed this picture there it was. I've been watching for it- expecting it really. Everyone said it happens quicker then you think but it still came as a surprise. There are those moments in every child's life when you see the future--that change from one stage in life to another not measured by calendar days. So when I looked at your little body trying so hard to make a basket I was struck by the little boy that was starting to emerge. Perhaps enough of the little baby remains to disguise it in person, but it is apparent to me in this picture that you are growing up. I knew it would happen and happen soon, I just didn't know WHEN!!
