He's not pretty he's handsome!!

I realize I am bias but I think my son is the most beautiful human being I have ever laid eyes on. I really just stare at him some times and admire him. I occasionally forget and call him pretty. He really hates it. He says he's handsome not pretty. I tried to explain to him that he is more than just handsome. He thinks pretty is just a word used for girls.
He feel asleep last night watching the A-Team for the bizillionth time! I was just admiring him and decided to take a picture to share. This is as peaceful as he gets!!!
He is getting so big and turning into such a little man. My cuddle time lessens each passing week. And we are way out of the stage of kissing his mommy in front of his friends. I have been fortunate enough to enjoy all these phases with him. One day he will be gone and I will be lucky to even get a phone call now and again. Where I used to be the coolest mom ever now I've been shunned to be an embarrassment in his eyes. He used to pull me along to meet all his friends. Now he gives me a look that says please don't speak to them. It's funny how your whole life your parents tell you that you won't understand love until you have children and you just roll your eyes because until you become a mother you really have no idea what your purpose in life was before that. I swore before I had children that I would never be one of those moms to eat soggy cookies etc. And I couldn't tell you how many half soggy and drooled on things I still pop in my mouth without a second thought.
I am truely blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. His laugh is still by far the most favorite sound I have ever heard.
