March 10th.............................................
The day that life changed. It happened one week earlier than it was supposed to. I was a Teacher on Friday. I became a Mom on Monday.

That was four years ago.

It has been four years of wonders.

Boys will be boys. Who ever had the great idea that things were gender neutral, well, they have not visited our house. They are different. Having a husband did not prepare me for life with boys, many things I thought my husband did to drive me crazy, well they just do instinctively. Anything can be turned into a lasso or gun. There was a two and half year old potty training declaring to me that he could stand. Never mind the fact he was too short for 'it' to reach the toilette. What do you do? Heed all warnings and use only designated toilets in our house. Life with my first boy has been a great adventure.

Knox is our big dreamer. He is our cowboy. He has evolved from the Duke to the Lone Ranger. He wears full costume where ever we go. Just a month or so ago, Wesley and Miranda were taking the boys out for the day. Knox was in his mask, cowboy hat, boots and with his stick horse 'Silver'. Wesley asked Knox if he wanted to leave those things at home. Ah, what Wesley did not know was Knox had more than one mask that Wesley could wear too!! A true cowboy.

This will be our first year without a horse cake and a cowboy theme. He decided he wanted Batman. It is our own little Toy Story over here. Did you know that Batman wears cowboy boots? And… Batman also has a Bat-horse. But, Knox explained to me that he wanted to save the world, and put it back together. I sure hope he does.

Happy Birthday Big Brother!!!!!
