I've been spending more time really watching my son lately. He's just shy of turning four. Has huge, heart-melting brown eyes. Eyelashes that go on for days. A smile that's like a warm hug. And since the moment I met him, he's been mine.
But he's growing up and sure enough, he's into cars...okay, so he's really into hot rods. And when I stepped outside last night, he came to stand between my husband and I and I quickly realized that, like his father, his hands were oily and dirty. At least one of his legs had a big grease smear. And he smelled like sweat. It was the official sign that he's becoming a boy. A part of me cried silently while another part of me celebrated.

About Me
- tstokes
- I recently turned 30, and have realized that there are times I feel more lost now than I did my first year out of college. So I've created a few blogs, each with a different theme, to use as outlets. My reasoning behind the varying themes is a reflection of my constant battle to find balance between my role as a wife, mother, professional, friend, etc. My struggles vary. My successes vary. And I'm really trying to get to a place where I feel comfortable and secure in who I am and what I'm doing.
