Our Growing Children

It seems to never fail, one day they are sweet and innocent and the next they are "Tweens". Our children are growing right before our eyes...without us seeing it. Harley is at the dreaded emotional rollercoaster, more like emotional Hurinado (that's a hurricane and tornado mixed). I'm sure that Kodalee is at the stage of aw and wonder. I would be too, watching Harley and Tripp. And Tripp...sweet, young, little Tripp-a-doo. He amazes us daily. He has a since of humor that could match an adult.

The other day we were trying to get him ready for bed. The only thing he wanted to do was avoid mom. I said, "Bubby, come here. I wanna give you lovins."
He just ignored me. I then said "Bubby, mommy wants to show you something."
He peeked his little nose around the corner and said, "You do?"
I replied with an excited "YA." He came running toward me with a smile saying, "What you got mommy?"
I swooped him up in my arms and said, "This..." and started to give him great big hugs.
He turned to me, the smile gone, and said with a very serious and somber look, "Mommy, that's not funny."
