Whose baby boy is this?










And why is this picture making me cry?

I LOVE the black and white one on Facebook. I wish I could take pictures like that.

And yea, when did he not become a little sweetly pudgy 5 year old?

He may be growing up but you sure should be proud. I just know he's going to be such a great young man with a mommy like you!

Mine keep growing and growing, too, despite my many orders to stop it! I just sent the eldest daughter to a semi-formal with a boy last night...

So I feel ya. :-)

Omigosh and look at his form throwing, too. You're doing a great job, Mama! (and I'd be weepy, too....)

Yeah, it's making you cry 'cause you can see the man he's gonna be in too short of time...

I know exactly how you feel.

Great shot, though. Love it. The future Mr. Libbey Litton as an all-star!

They do grow up too fast. At a graduation service today, all the graduates' parents assured me that I'll be watching mine graduate sooner than I can believe.

Oh my. Apparently we were channeling each other when writing our latest blog posts. My baby isn't near as big as yours, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to blink, and he'll be out there, playing a game with the same determination on his face. Sniff Sniff.

Urgh. This wkend, my girls were laying on their stomachs, playing a game. I shed a tear looking at them, as I noticed how long their legs are, how big their feet have gotten. And don't get me started on the baby boy. Sigh

I can totally understand why you would tear up. He looks like a grown up, playing 1st string for the Yankees or something. Too sweet. And his face, yep, clicked and saw it.

Aw, poor girl. I know just how you feel. If you go to my blog and go to the second post down, you'll see my almost 12-year-old in a bathing suit, and THAT made me nearly tear up. The hormones are raging, the boobs are sprouting, and next will be the dreaded Aunt Flo. Somebody help me!

Love his facial expression in the photo. Very determined. I can't believe my 2 year old will be grown up someday. So sad.

I loved it when one son was a pitcher. You can tell so much about what kind of person they are by how they handle themselves: some cry, some get mad, some are stoic! I can understand why you want to cry!

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...
