Westy, when he was almost 3

In less than 6 months, this little boy will be a 5-year-old. He was only 3 when I wrote this. Time truly flies... 

-------------------------

Westy

Westy is almost three. Six days remain of his two-ness.

Always a blondie, sometimes a fireman, sometimes a lumberjack

Who knows what the day will bring?

His mama and daddy say he’s prone to tantrums,

which frustrates them and makes Miles roll his eyes and

shake his head.

His grandpappy and I say he’s prone to cuteness,

which delights us and makes us smile.

This little boy tilts his head and lopes with confidence. He honors

his big brother by watching him with intensity, and copies him with pride.

He’s almost three, this sweet child. The babiest, who melts my

heart when he looks at me with his blue eyes and says,

“Y-you want to play with me?”  Of course I do, Westy. Of course I do.
