Brody's 4th Anniversary of Life

I am amazed at the speed of time. Brody is four years old and it seems like we just found out we were having a boy. We were so happy to have a boy to go with our girls. He was such a good baby. He had to be! He was a little ball of love!

He has had made life entertaining, from the beginning, with his personality and his multiple medical procedures! From fevers and stays at Primary's as a newborn, to tubes in his ears at four months, to a graft on one of his burned hands at ten months. The Watterson Family would be downright boring without the Bubs.

There have been very distinctive times when my kids have shown their growing independence and it has been painfully awakening for me. Brody's was yesterday. He asked me to open the garage, I did. He then rode his bike up our driveway and down Grandma's driveway to go play with his cousins. The simple act of riding his bike over there to play was more than I am used to. It was bittersweet to watch. I am happy that he is motivated to take care of his own boredom and sad that it wasn't to cuddle with me. He is a special boy and will be a special man. I just hope the time moves a little slower.
