...More signs he's growin' up!

Ok...I know these milestones are of no significance to anyone else, but I'm just having a really hard time lately dealing with the fact that my baby's not quite a baby anymore. From the loss of his pure innocence clear down to the soles of his big 'ole feet (clear back up to the height of a 7-year-old)... I'm just trying to treasure all the tiny details about everyday life. Everybody always says how fast their kids grow up and I'm beginning to realize what they're talking about. When Dyl was 2 then everything was about Elmo. We had all the movies and toys and everything ELMO! Since then I've gotten rid of everything Elmo except for a wall hanging I thought was cute and couldn't part with it. Yesterday Dyl took it off of his wall and put it in the garbage declaring, "Mom, Elmo is for babies." (Of course, I had to remove Elmo from the garbage can for one last photograph!) The other thing that made me realize Dyl's not so "little" anymore is this announcement he made tonight: "Hey, Mom...Look at me shake what my mama gave me...I've got some junk in my trunk!"
