Proud Mama

Ever get that warm and fuzzy feeling that you know you shouldn’t because it’s not right to be happy and gloat that your kid is the best one out there?

That’s my middle boy, Brady.

He started out like this…

And spent A LOT of time like this…

But not anymore…

No sir…

Now it’s more like this…

And I can’t help but be a little giddy about the fact that something happened this weekend and it all just clicked for him.  He was a man possessed.  He was flying around the ice and literally skating circles around the other kids.  At his practice yesterday all the other moms were like,

“Look at him go!”

“He’s amazing!”

“He’s so good out there!”

So yes, I’m gloating just a bit today, not to the other moms, but to you guys, because today, my little man Brady is the best darn 4 year old hockey player in his class.

Woo hoo!  Go Brady!!!

I’m so going to embarass him when he’s older!

Now if I could just get him out of that BC jersey and into a BU one we’d be in business!

So not cool

Look at my little man…

My oldest boy, at all of 5 years old, made me bawl like a baby the other day.

Why?

He’s growing up.

Yup…

It’s true.

See, we’re standing at the bus stop the other day when he drops the bomb on me…

“Ma? Can you maybe just give me a hug?”

Of course I’ll give you a hug…

“No, Ma…JUST. A. HUG.  Like no kiss before I get on the bus.”

“It’s so not cool, Ma…”

Is it really happening already?

Hey everyone…thanks for all your patience.  I’m still not back up and at ‘em.  My hubs has been a doll and took the oldest two out all weekend to let me get some rest.  He wiped the boys out and this is the end result!  Gotta love it!
