It's so great and so awful being the youngest. This guy gets more one-on-one time with Mom than anyone else. More lunches out, more treats at the grocery store, more park trips. But he also has to sit back and watch his siblings move on to big kid things without him as he inches his way toward being in their shoes. Lagoon has been the latest experience like that, but it has been that way with summer rec., birthday parties, class field trips...in almost everything he has to watch the older kids do it first. In some ways thats a huge perk as he is usually more excited than scared to try new things but oh the patience it takes! And then there is the whole "been there done that" attitude he faces.
This was a mom and Soren trip to see the chalk art festival while Miriam was in ballroom dance and Byron was at a birthday party. Soren and I walked both sides of the street picking our favorites.
Especially this one, done by our friend and the boys summer art teacher.
This girl is only a sophomore in high school, can you believe it (boo to the shadow)?
We stopped and split the Chalk Art Special at the Bun basket and soaked in all the artistic inspiration with a sandwich and cookie.
When we got home Soren made this.....
